Great stay. Lovely place within walking distance of all downtown, museums, parks, restaurants, and the botanical garden. Paula was super helpful. Clean, new, nice, and spacious. We'll definitely stay here when we return. Thank you!

Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy
The unit was spacious and well-appointed with all the amenities. However there is a very pervasive musty smell in the living room. While Paula with the communications team was quick to recognize there was an issue, the maintenance team did not show up to address it, even after 2 days. Not great response.
