The bed was super comfy and warm, couch was comfortable and the amenities were good. Bathroom a bit awkward but workable. I would probably stay here again. ##### Trish Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher S. 29 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Exactly what we needed. A friend and I were looking for a cheap place to sleep over the long weekend as we had a couple of Brunswick central activities. This was a great little place to stay for the 2 nights we were there. So close to Brunswick, everything you need for a couple or a couple of friends and reasonably priced. Property manager was easy to deal with and very welcoming. Would definitely come back again if we need to stay in Brunswick. ##### Christopher S.

Regulating the shower taps was not good and maybe a bath mat, can be slippery. Everything else was good 😊 ##### Julie Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jan B. 10 Dec 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Looks like someone lives here full time and leaves when it’s rented A lot of personal stuff left out so feels a bit uncomfortable. The tangerines in the counter had gone bad and were producing fruit flies. I believe it’s very over priced under the circumstances. ##### Jan B.
