It was incredible! Immaculate and well-appointed. So cozy and close to everything. Fresh and clean and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our two nights. Parking was so easy in the large, paved driveway. Grounds had a cottage feel and were lovely! Victor has been so gracious and responsive. We love this VRBO…one of our faves!
Very happy that I chose to stay here with my group of friends, house was very clean and neatly laid out. Ample parking and lovely location overlooking the city. Will definitely look to coming here again in the future.
