City advice
What to pack
Bring comfortable shoes and a jacket in the winter.
There are many walkable restaurants, parks, hiking and biking trails; bring comfortable shoes. From October to March when the sun goes down it can get cold; bring a jacket. Not to mention the early mornings are always crisp during these months.
Travelling with kids
Bringing children, let me know
As a mother myself, the house has open play spaces (indoor and outdoors), Netflix, Disney Plus, and the yard is completely gated. There are also a few board games available, books, and balls to play with. The park is 2 blocks away to let out that energy on a walk to dinner in Old Town.
