Perfectly matches pictures. Very clean and comfortable. Good area for good and easy food. Not in a busy area, it’s cutely tucked away. Only downside was the TV was very small and slow, but if you’re not planning on watching TV much, it’s a great spot!

Great little place!

We were pleased with our stay. The layout was a bit tight but was fine. The bed was very comfortable and the full kitchen was useful. We loved the back patio area, very relaxing. The parking was also convenient.
