I couldn’t had picked a more perfect place for a weekend of shopping, good eats and entertainment with my girlfriends. What made it the best was its smack dab in the middle of it all! The kitchen was a great place for conversation, and was so happy to have stumbled across this place.

Very handy location. Steps are a bit challenging but we managed. The appartment is really pretty, updated with everything you need. You do have to wash your towels because only 1 set is provided per person. Beds are comfortable. Overall 5 star
