The apartment is great - very mindful in every detail. The communication was great. My only issue was the parking situation - to me it was a significant inconvenience. There is only street parking and the closest street parking requires a neighborhood permit (not issued). Loading and unloading is tricky as is parking. There seems to be space behind the main house - if allowed parking back there would solve the issue. I didn’t feel safe with my car on the street and it was pretty far away - I couldn’t see it to monitor it.

The property was impressive, very clean, nice appliances, and exactly what the pictures represented. The cabinets were very well organized, making it very easy to find what you were looking for. This property had everything you needed for a restful stay. Kathy is a great host, and made sure everything was in good working order. My family and I would stay here if we were in the area again.

Quiet, comfortable lodgings on the edge of town

This was a great location for us, very walkable and bikeable to both the city and parks and trails. The accomodations themselves had everything we needed for a few days' stay. Cozy living room area and beautiful walk in shower were the highlights. Enough space for a rainy movie night or a light meal, but this place is best served for enjoying the surroundings more than staying in.
