This was a nice affordable place for two people to stay. Bedroom and bathroom were nice. The kitchen and dining table area were perfect. If we had any issuesqe were able to call and get them fixed right away. We would highly recommend this olace to stay.
Location and space were great. Views from the street and proximity to downtown were ideal. The host and staff were mostly professional in communication. However, we could hear everything that was happening upstairs. From footsteps to conversations to crying babies - we heard it all. Pretty okay stay.
