This place is great--Kitchen, location, even a cute patio. The manager is also a great communicator so even if you are dumb and can't find it at first in the dark, you will be just fine! (Cough...) We also had a family emergency and had to leave early and couldn't enjoy as much as we wanted, and the manager was great about us having to leave fast. We will be back to enjoy again! ##### Erin B.

Clean, cute, nice courtyard. Access is too complicated. Advertised as sleeping 4 adults but one bed is only a full and the other is an air mattress that has to be inflated. Barely room for 3 to sit in living room. One loveseat and one small chair. TV use in Living room requires chrome cast app, which requires download for iPhone or apple products. ##### angela w.
