Super cute and super clean apartment! The beds are very comfortable and the location is ideal... close enough to easily walk to the restaurants and bars in the historic downtown area (about a 5 min walk), but far enough away that you didn't hear the noise from the bars once you got back to the apartment. It was perfect!
This was an amazing place for my husband and I to stay in the historic town of Sanford. We loved how close the historic town but also how close the downtown area was. The hospitality was amazing and the hosts were very responsive when I had questions or requests. I will stay again and would highly recommend!
We had a wonderful experience at this property!!! It was super clean, super convenient to walk to downtown Sanford, the owner was super easy to communicate with and very fast to respond and was very accommodating!! We loved it so much that we didn’t want to leave!!! The price was also awesome!!! We are looking forward to not only renting this space again but also bringing friends and renting other units at the same time!! Fabulous place!!
