This was a great place to stay! Short walk to the heart of Freeport, which is a nice small town with a lot of shops and good restaurants. There were pretty steep steps up to the apartment, but if you don’t have a problem with that, you’ll love it. It has a very spacious updated kitchen that seemed well equipped — beds were comfortable (including the pull out sofa) and bathroom was clean and functional. The hosts communicated well with us.

Wonderful Stay!

We were visiting the area to checkout a few colleges. The apartment is located a short walk to downtown Freeport where we found restaurants and shopping galore! Great space and super clean. Well stocked kitchen for staying in to dine. Very comfortable bed (master). Checkin and checkout were a breeze. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks so much for hosting us!
