Clean and well-furnished home with comfortable beds. Great location near downtown and steps away from fun bars and good restaurants. Property managers were available and attentive to our needs.

This home was amazing from top to bottom. The host stayed in communication from check in to check out. There was a snow storm and the property was treated immediately. There was even a Xmas tree! I would recommend, recommend!!
