Awesome experience. We rented this property for my mother's 65th birthday. Just a quick staycation. While our stay was not perfect, the experience itself trumps anything that may not have been perfect. Communication was amazing. Very open and helpful. The property itself was beautiful. Tons of room, air conditioning was amazing, adequate parking for a small group, but I could see challenges for a larger group.The location was amazing as well as you have access to points of interest in the city. We would absolutely stay at this property again.
