Exactly as described, very clean and cozy space. Surprisingly quiet given the urban location. I didn't use the small outdoor space as it was in the back breezeway. The property is light and bright. You may want to bring eye shades to sleep in as there are high windows with no covering. Great trip and I'd stay here again if I had the need.
