Very small… only one chair to sit in, but we were mostly out and abut so it was fine. Excellent hosts… very responsive. Unit 1 is right next to the street, so street noise was apparent, but it quieted down by 10pm. My only ding is the instructions for check out… do the dishes; take out the trash, etc. if I’m paying a cleaning fee, I’m not going to do the cleaning! ##### Lee Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Monica M. 16 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy I really enjoyed my stay.
