This home was perfect for my husband and me. Just the right amount of space. We used all the brand-new appliances. We walked to a downtown coffee shop. We walked with our grandchildren to a playground next door to the coffee shop. Parking for the house was easily accessible. We will stay here again if the need arises! Thanks, Paul!

The host, Paul, was great. We had an issue which he responded to almost immediately and addressed it next morning. The property is a couple of blocks from a trail that runs along the river into town. A nice, leisurely walk to everything. The house is a duplex, but no noise issues at all. Paul’s place was adequate for our four night stay.
