Clean and spacious!
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this property. It was supremely clean, the contactless check-in and check-out were seamless, and there was ample room for our family. The AC units worked perfectly, and the water heater didn’t let us down, despite stacked showers one morning. We have extended family in the area, and though we have stayed in hotels in the past, it was really nice to have extra room at this home. Definitely a winner!

Wonderful convenient apartment
The property was clean and comfortable. My father and I were in the area for family reasons and the apartment was convenient for our needs.
The beds were comfortable and the unit was well equipped.
I would happily stay there again.

Nice neighborhood; nice, comfortable place
Stayed with wife and teen daughter. Plenty of space. Comfortable beds and couch.
Low ceiling in third floor stairwell, so watch your head if you are over 6'.
Dining room chairs are a bit tired and wobbly; kitchen sink drain has a very bad smell that should be dealt with.
Otherwise lovely.
