Charm and Convenience in One
Everything about this property was great. It was just as described and easy to locate. Check-in process simple and hassle free. Decore was so cute and charming and the neighborhood is amazing, located and surrounded by beautiful, historical, southern homes. Very convenient to historic down town and area attractions. Everything was so perfect we never needed to contact the hose but she did reach out several times to make sure everything was good. Will definitely stay there when in the area.
