Such a great host! This was in a great location and the stay was just as described. Definitely would stay here again in the future when I’m back in the area
We had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend this VRBO! The host's communication was excellent from start to finish, making everything stress-free. The check-in process was very easy, and we really appreciated having our own private parking space. The only thing that would have made our stay even better would have been having a washer and dryer on-site, especially since we stayed for 10 days. Other than that, everything was great, and we truly enjoyed our time here. We'd happily stay again!
Apartment was very clean and in great condition. Location is a good central location which makes it easy to get to all ye local sites. Listing did say it had washer and dryer which is one of the reasons I chose it, however, it seems they had been removed. Listing may need updated to reflect this. Overall, great stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
Air conditioner was good. No Laundry machines as listed on Vrbo. No tv in living room only in bedrooms. Onsite construction going on, noisy during the day time hours. No hot water untill last 2 days of trip. Very hard to get a hold of owner to rectify the water problem.
