The host was great, the place was very nice, beds very comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed, the casita was a perfect fit for us and the location was fantastic. The only thing from giving 5 stars is the road noise at night.

The pool and separate casita are a wonderful feature. Feels like a secluded paradise in the middle of the city. Had a yoga mat and weights on back patio and fun pool chairs. A few options for outdoor seating areas.

I LOVE this house. Perfect size, comfortable, great bathrooms with BIG showers easy to get in and out of. LOVE the heated pool and outdoor areas! So nice to have a cabana with bedroom for more private sleeping arrangement. Great location- south of lake, much easier to get anywhere with less traffic and less crime but easy access to lakefront running trail or to walk across bridge to downtown area. Two big parking places in alley. Will definitely rent again!! Note for the less mobile- it is on a terraced hill so very frail people that can’t walk down some outdoor steps (well lit at night btw) may want to consider a place with easier access from car to entrance. Otherwise a perfect gem!!

Fantastic property! Would definitely book again. One small downside is street noise off riverside.
