Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Gina S. 15 Aug 2024 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Awesome location but weird setup So I have to say the location was incredible. A short walk outside the gate to the center of town. Tons of great restaurants and cute shops. However the unit itself was a little strange. It was listed as a duplex but both units can be connected through a staircase. The upper level was rented during our stay and you could hear the other peoples full conversations or when they sneezed it was so loud we felt like they were in the same room. Maybe some carpeting between the two doors or some sound proofing would help. It was adorable and comfortable. The only other complaint I had was it looked like our unit hadn’t been cleaned recently, as there were spiders in almost every corner. Nothing we couldn’t handle just for the price we paid a light dusting prior to our arrival would have been appreciated. ##### Gina S.
