Late communication but very nice stay

We didn't get early check in instructions, and I panicked a bit when we didn't hear back until the day of. However once we checked in the property was beautiful and easy to use. It was comfortable on a very hot couple of days, and well appointed for our family of 3. Beds were comfortable, good size and affordable. I'd highly recommend.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We had an overall good time at Bita's. However we expected a cleaner environment (especially the kitchen cupboards and windows). The bath was really nice and clean. Bita and her husband are very friendly and answered super quickly. We did not complain about the WiFi, but the signal was not strong enough to reach the bedrooms. We were told to turn on the exhausterfan when using the stove, wich was helpful. However even with it turned all the way on, there was so much smoke building, that we weren't able to properly use the stove during our stay. We are very grateful for our stay in this quiet and sweet neighbourhood

Cute place!

This is a great little quiet place! Clean, nice neighbourhood, listing looks just like the real thing. I stayed here with my teenager for a sports competition nearby and it was a perfect place for us to cook healthy meals and test comfortably! Wish we had more time to check out an art class. Would definitely stay here again!

Eras Tour Stay

We stayed here while we were in town for the Eras Tour in November 2024. We absolutely loved our stay. It was a great and affordable alternative to the busy and expensive down town. Getting down town was very easy using the transit system, which is a quick walk away.There are a lot of cute restaurants and shops within walking distance.The unit was very clean, cute, and decorated nicely.Communicating with the owner was easy, and we really enjoyed our stay. We would definitely stay here again!
