Overall, the place is in good condition considering it is 150 years old. We stayed in early March. The heating system is steam, with radiators throughout. If you have ever experienced noisy steam pipes, you'll know what I am talking about. These were the loudest, most random pipes I have ever heard. It would go on for almost 10 minutes, about 3 times during the night. The other noise problem was the street. The windows are 150 years old, as well. No insulation from the moderate to loud vehicles. We have stayed at The Wavery next door, at least 3 times without these experiences. Needless to say, it was a rough night. We love old homes. This adventure was just a little rough.
