10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful home in an extremely quiet residential neighborhood near everything. The street guest parking description concerned me at first but in reality it was perfect and always available for our use day and night. It’s a two family unit where you will hear the upstairs residents walk above you with their occasionally barking dogs but that is a minor daytime annoyance that vanishes in the evening and overnight. The unit contains everything you need for a relaxing stay and the pictures accurately reflect this very comfortable upscale property. Our hosts immediately replied to our one inquiry during our amazing stay. We will absolutely stay here again if possible when visiting the area."
