Such a pleasant stay!
We were extremely happy with our stay here! Impeccably clean, well decorated and appointed, great location on a quaint residential street but walkable to the river and shops and restaurants. Would hands down stay here again if we return!

A beautiful, well-appointed quiet home just steps away from all of the downtown dining and entertainment options. We watched the sunset on the river from our second floor balcony. Perfect trip. Responsive and gracious hosts.

Comfy beds, GREAT air conditioning, and all of the essentials
Loved that the beds were comfy, everything we needed was there (dishwasher pods, coffee and creamer, pack n play). The owner even purchased a highchair for the place when he found out we had a baby coming with. Very communicative and easy to get ahold of
