Was perfect for our needs. Only issues we had was the bed is very soft (which is an us issue not the venue), and as there is another place above us, we were woken up early both mornings with the noise of people moving around upstairs. We had hoped for sleep in, but if you're an early riser it wouldn't be an issue. Otherwise, loved the place! ##### Chanelle T.
