Perfect location in the heart of the peninsula. Awesome property. New. Clean. Private. Quiet. Everything you need. There are two tall flights of stairs (one with a lockable door) just be prepared if you have littles.

Very nice place overall, close proximity to a couple of eateries,and a small convenience store is located right across the street. Quiet neighborhood. Cleanliness was overall good (except for some soap scum that foamed up in our coffee maker as soon as we filled it with water, and the one bathroom had some sticky gobs of hair in the corner).Would stay there again,but we found it odd that we were being asked to start a load of towels before departing. Not to be lazy, but is that not what we paid the cleaning and service fees for? Also, i feel they should be professionally sanitized, with bleach, and we didn't see any.For the price we paid, we would expect that our towels are properly cleaned,and not having to rely on the fact that the guests before us hopefully washed them right...just saying

Great place to stay. Very clean and nicely furnished. Kitchen and bathrooms had everything we needed. Suggest having breakfast across the street at Fiddleheads.
