Walk to attractions, shops, restaurants, bars, and breweries. There is parking/charging for electric cars. All travelers are welcome. I just ask that you be kind and respectful of the space. Are you interested in a longer stay but don't see the dates you need? Message me via Airbnb. Dates may be available. The space The upstairs, downtown space is in the heart of Marshall! A short walk to restaurants, shopping, local theaters, and museums. A perfect location for participating in our many local events including; The Marshall Historic Home Tour, Candlelight Walking Tour, Blues Festival, and the 4th of July Cruise to the Fountain. If you need a long-term stay, I may be able to accommodate you. Let me know the dates you need in your message and I can let you know availability. Your accommodations are one large bedroom with a Queen-size bed and an attached full bath. The huge bathroom has a roomy, stand-up shower (no bathtub). We have a roll-away bed and a Pack-N-Play for use by a child or infant (an extra $20 per stay for each). The bedroom and bath are located within the second-floor office space. The bathroom is attached to your bedroom with locking doors. The bathroom is occasionally used by me (during working hours only Mon-Fri 10 to 5) so I ask you to keep the door unlocked when not in use. The bathroom is for your exclusive use on nights and weekends. Most guests tell us it's like having a huge apartment and not just a bedroom, as they feel quite comfortable using the shared space even when we happen to be working. This space was designed to be an apartment, so it has everything you need. The area outside the bedroom and bathroom is shared by me and occasionally by my staff, but only during working hours. The area includes the kitchen, dining area, and sitting area, all available for your use. The office has very little traffic, and our main business is downstairs. The downstairs business is open Mon-Fri. It can be a little noisy during operating hours Mon-Fri from 7 am until 6 pm, but it quiets down later in the day. I am rarely around on the weekends or holidays, but if I will be, I let you know in advance. Weekday rentals are most suited to early risers or business travelers, and weekends and holidays should suit anyone. Continental breakfast items and beverages will be available for guests in our kitchen area. If you have specific dietary needs, I'm happy to accommodate them with enough notice. There is a full-size refrigerator, a microwave, a stovetop (please don't bake or fry anything that is greasy or smells strongly, there isn't a stove hood to ventilate), and a dishwasher for your use. The kitchen has basic dishes, a few pots & pans, an electric teapot, Kuerig, utensils, a can-opener, corkscrew, salt & pepper, paper towels, dish soap, and dish towels. Please clean up after yourself in the kitchen and dining area. There is a private entrance and plenty of free parking. On occasion, the free parking fills up because of special events, but we have the use of our own private parking spaces nearby. If you have an electric vehicle, there are charging stations in a lot next to our building and can be used for both day and night charging. Guest access The large bedroom is private and has inside door locks. The bathroom is attached. The rest of the space is shared, by me or occasionally by a staff member. Our workspaces are separate from the bedroom and we don't utilize the shared space much when we have guests. I use the kitchen area for lunch preparation. All common spaces are regularly cleaned and sanitized. The bedroom is large enough to add our roll-away bed or our pack-n-play. Unfortunately, our location is not handicap accessible. During your stay I prefer to meet first-time guests upon arrival to explain the Airbnb layout and other things it's important for guests to know. I also just enjoy meeting guests! When I'm not available, my co-host/sister will check you in. On weekdays, one of us may be in or around the office up until 6 pm or so. We can answer questions about the area, give suggestions or chat. If privacy is what you're looking for, we don't bother you after check-in unless you need us! Other things to note Your accommodations are above a business establishment. We operate Monday-Friday from 6:30 am and close our doors at 6 pm. We are open from 9 to 1 on Saturdays. The bedroom is fairly quiet though you may hear some noise from our business operating during open hours. I've not had any guests complain about it. There is also some traffic noise, because we are on the main thoroughfare through town. Though it hasn't been an issue with the vast majority of previous guests, it has bothered a few of those who tell me they are light sleepers. I have both a ceiling fan and an oscillating fan that can help with masking noise if needed.
