Julie made the check-in process very easy and efficient. Upon arrival the unit was very clean and stocked with coffee. Very well appointed and comfortable for our family of four. The best was our morning walks to Haven Coffee Shop. Some of the best coffee we have ever had.I would recommend this anyone who is visiting Covington.

Everything was wonderful, the only critique I have is that is wasn't clear that the unit is only the second floor of the property until after booking. Great value for the money and great hosts however.

Gorgeous cottage ambience

The apartment has been renovated very stylishly, while at the same time is very homey and comfortable. The beds were comfy, the shower luxurious, and the HVAC system operated flawlessly — must be a new system in a very quaint cottage. The location was superb too. Our host was gracious and helpful. We would stay here again.
