Perfect place

We came in with 4 of us girls for a convention. Great location to the convention center, easy and beautiful walk to it. This place is right in the middle of everything! Clean, quiet, and just a great place. Great communication with the owners. We will be booking this place again.

Location is great, rental is not

Location is wonderful, but the rental itself was not great. It is clearly a mini-hotel, yet you have to take out the trash and strip the bedding yourself on checkout. Listing doesn’t mention that you’ll have to buy parking in order to access the rental. Beds were poor quality (cheap mattress and frame) although the bedding was fine. Access was easy… once you figured it out. Instructions for access and parking were poor. One of our party had an allergic reaction to something in the rental on both nights we stayed. Would not stay again, nor would I recommend it to friends.
