Great stay. Location is perfect for access to Carytown, etc. Check in and out were very easy and Mei communicated everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again.
Great stay in Carytown! So close to shops and restaurants and house was clean with plenty of room. Any questions we had were answered right away and house was perfect for our trip! There were just two of us but our two teenagers could have easily stayed with plenty of room too! Will definitely stay again!!
Great property! Very clean. I didn't realize it is a second floor rental and booked it for October 29-31 and am having foot surgery during this stay. Not sure I'll be able to manage it.
Very nice place in the middle of Carytown. Walking distance to great restaurants and shopping. The beds were comfortable, and the air conditioning rocked. It was in the upper 90s outside and the apartment stayed wonderfully cool.
The property was comfortable and quiet and walkable to a lot of shopping dining. I felt welcome and the owners were attentive to making my stay pleasant.
Location location location! 3 minute walk to Cary Street restaurants and shops. The apartment was charming and scrupulously clean. The mattresses, pillows and bedding were heavenly. Communication with the hostess was ideal. Hope to stay here again!
