Great for a family stay

We loved the location and the space. My husband and I stayed there with our four adult children. This property is only a mile from King Street, so you can walk or take a quick Uber to great restaurants and shopping. There’s a Trader Joe’s in walking distance, along with a good selection of neighborhood restaurants within a couple of blocks. The townhouse was very clean, and the rooms were comfortable. The kitchen was set up with everything you need. We were unable to enjoy the outdoor patio due to a few intermittent showers and high temps/humidity, but that is also a nice feature. If we head back to the area, I would definitely stay again.
