This house is beautiful. Decorated with exceptional attention to detail, the place is perfect for two couples, a family of 4 or more. Allison was very responsive, made sure we had a smooth check in process, and left us some surprise treats for our arrival. There is one bathroom for 2 rooms ( Or 3 if someone is staying in the study), but the toilet is separately accessed from the shower/sinks area so it isn't the inconvenience you'd imagine. The neighborhood is lovely, and a 25 minute walk to Notre Dame campus, 5 minute Uber. Highly recommend staying here.
