Whether you’re here for a university visit, a festival weekend, or a professional stay, you’ll love being just minutes from the vibrant energy of Downtown. Sip your morning coffee on the classic front porch, enjoy a home-cooked meal in the chef-ready kitchen, and take advantage of having the city’s best dining and music right at your doorstep.
The Space:
Designed with small families and groups in mind, this home offers a seamless "home away from home" experience.
Two Queen Suites: Both bedrooms feature premium queen mattresses, high-quality linens, and ample storage, ensuring everyone in your group has a private place to recharge.
