Everything was great! loved the place, however the fridge didn't work and that was a bummer. The owners of the space figured out a temporary solution and we continued enjoying our vacation.

We had a lovely stay while visiting our son over Christmas. The deck was our favorite part for morning coffee. Beautiful views of the city and we got to enjoy the Christmas lights of the across-the -river neighbors as a bonus.The kitchen pots and pans were a bit lax but we made do. We would definitely return here again!
