We had a lovely stay at this charming rental! The architecture was beautiful and full of character, and the location couldn’t have been better. Everything we needed was just a short walk away. The space was very clean and well-maintained, which made settling in easy. While there was some late-night noise from the surrounding area and the fire alarm in the smaller unit was beeping, overall, the experience was very enjoyable. With a few small tweaks (a box fan in the bedroom), this place would be absolutely perfect!
