Daughter in hospital
We stayed at both properties by this owner while our daughter is recovering from surgery in the hospital in Fall River. Both units were clean and well appointed. We would definitely recommend!

Cute house
We had a great time staying here. The house is very old so you should expect minor things that go with staying in an old house. It did not bother us, or affect our stay. It was clean and well kept. It was in a nice neighborhood. The parking is easy to use and off the road. The hosts were nice and accommodating.
