I liked the area it was in and it’s close to everything. I liked the vibe of the place and the decorations. The only thing I didn’t like was that there was peeling paint but other than that it was good. There was a confusion about how to confirm the reservation but once I got a hold of the property management, I was able to complete the steps and they were very fast to respond. I would stay here again if I was in the area. ##### Lisa Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alex D. 28 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spacious House Great location and lots to do!
