We stayed here for a long weekend to celebrate my bachelorette party, and it was perfect! Great location that’s super close to King St (restaurants, shops, etc.), and it was spacious enough that we were all comfortable during our stay. The host was super responsive and they were so nice with helping us coordinate our check in and stay. 10/10 recommend this place.

Would definitely stay again
Great location, very clean, well maintained and decorated nicely. Only complaint is privacy issues in some of the bedrooms and bathroom. The doors are glass paneled and have a sheer white curtain that is see through. We put towels up for privacy. The main bathroom has a glass panel that you can see in especially at nighttime. Also put a towel up for privacy. Minor complaint. Would definitely go back and stay again.
