Grear place to stay at! It was comfy to stay at and was just what we needed. Will definitely use this location when we come back to look for houses for ourselves.
This was such an amazing and welcoming experience. The host was very attentive. There was really anything you couldve needed. The hot tub was also a big bonus.
The triplex was awesome. No issues with that, however we stayed in the only one that we had to walk down an alley for hot tub access. Not ideal for single women. The neighborhood is also not the best I had to call the cops on a disturbance in the street in front of us.
