We had the opportunity to stay in this lovely apt for an extended stay of 3 weeks while awaiting our daughter's first child. It was a lovely apt. It had all the accompaniments of home. We were able to cook and prepare meals for the new mother and in our free time had a wonderful time walking around the neighborhood and various county parks. Everything was easy to get to and much of the shopping a very easy walk We always found ourselves very safe day or night walking around town. Ben and Shatrel were wonderful hosts. Very responsive. and even made space for my bicycle in their garage. I can't say enough nice things about this home and our stay.
