It is in a great location. Outside the city, but, not really for within 5 -15 minutes you can be a shops and restaurants that are wonderful. The book on the property explaining things is very helpful. It was clear, pricise and helped us know what was expected and what all is available in the area. I would recommend this property anytime. Clean, comfortable, the beds, pillows, sheets all made sleeping super great. Angela checked in with us and made sure we were in and we had we had what we need.
