Super cute

This apartment is super cute! I love the brick and the tile in the kitchen. We had a great time. Front porch is great to relax on, the kids lived the hammock. The back yard is also really cute. Would definitely consider staying here again.

Location, location!

Perfect getaway. Parked the vehicle and never drove until we left. Walkable location, beautiful parks, and the best dog park we have ever visited. Host was easy to reach and very responsive.

I think we spent the majority of our time on the front porch! But the rest of the property was So comfy and even though this is a very old house the updates made it even more so.Every little item was considered, from coffee and filters to Q tips in case you forgot them. Great location, just a few blocks to the main street with several dining options. It was our first time taking our dog so we were a bit apprehensive but the property was designed to make doing so easy. Easy to clean floors and a nice yard in front as well as very walkable streets. We enjoyed this place immensely.

We stayed at this VRBO and had a great experience. Location was excellent, with restaurants and bars with an easy walking distance. The two bedroom unit was clean, cute, and well maintained. The host was friendly and responsive. The only minor drawback was the beds were a bit firm for our preference. Overall, we would definitely stay here again.
