This was my first experience with an unattended property, but once here and settled in, I found it to be a place that I will definitely stay at again. The room I had was very large and comfortable. I would recommend to anyone with an eclectic taste and the young at heart. I am 58 and found the property/room quite fun … there was a collection of costumes in the closet. Be sure to respond to the email requesting identification in order to receive the gate codes, your room number, and the lock code to your room. Try it out, you’ll like it!
