We stayed at the Urban Nest for 2 nights in October. The space was great, and well equipped, spacious and convenient. Communication with the host was excellent and she provided assistance and recommendations of the area throughout as needed. We were very comfortable and appreciated the thoughtful touches that had been added to the space, such as kids books and games. We’d recommend it to small young families, couples or solo travellers.
