Charming vintage rental
We loved our stay in this darling space. It's conveniently located in a nice neighborhood and right on the bike trail. You can walk to a coffee trailer, brewery and a couple restaurants or find most everything you need to stay in and cook. The space was perfect for 2 of us and clean, but it is an old building. Communication with the property manager was easy. It's really cute -we would stay here again.

Great stay. Wonderful apartment. Great location with walkway right out the front door. The only dissatisfaction was the people above us were pretty loud.

It's The Inside That Counts!
External appearance is deceptive. Open the door to clean, modern and spacious comfort. Loved our time there. Check-in was a bit stressful because we are traveling with flip-phones and could not get the key code as we had requested before we left home. A friend in town helped us to reach the owner but outside the vrbo system. The owner was very gracious and accommodating once we reached her. Would like more info on the history of the building. It's the inside that counts!.

Lovely
This place was squeaky clean and absolutely charming, my daughter and I felt right at home in the cozy atmoshere created here. The bed was very comfortable and we appreciated the quality linens and towels. The only down side for me is that I could only stay one night. I would absolutely book again.
