Walking Distance to Downtown and Stadium
Came for a football game, would stay here again. It was nice to not have to worry about driving on gameday. It is about a 25 minute walk to the stadium but worth it to avoid gameday traffic. The unit was nice and as pictured.

Quiet and comfortable
Location was great for our needs and the home was very serene and well equipped with all the kitchen essentials. I had a couple of concerns which were addressed very quickly and satisfactory. Definitely a place I would love to stay again.
