Great little spot!

Really enjoyed our stay at this location! The space was clean and lovely. The kitchenette has several dishes and pots and pans if you want to make food in. In the evenings, we would take a walk around the neighborhood, which was beautiful and good exercise! The host, Chris, was great. Would stay again.

Great place, super clean and cute! Even though there's only a kitchenette we had everything we needed to make food. For some reason we couldn't get the wifi to work, the network wasn't showing up on our phones but it wasn't a big issue for us. We would definitely come back!

Very quiet and close to everything we were doing

The place was extremely clean and very quiet. Easy to get to everything we had going on. The steps down to it are a little tricky and he warned us about them. He had a Roku on the TV which allowed me to sign in to my ESPN app and watch softball- was expired about that

Perfect for Family Visit

My husband and I used the apartment during our visit to the Air Force Academy. Close to the North Gate entrance, it was easy to access the Academy. Although it doesn't have a full-sized kitchen, it had everything we needed. The owner has supplied guests with appliances to make meal preparation easy.The neighborhood is lovely with lots of wildlife. Shopping and dinning are also close.
