Rental in the heart of it all
Our stay was fantastic. Clean, walkable and nicely appointed. The only disappointment was the length of time it took for the freezer to reach full cooling temp after being kept off between rentals. Additionally, the ice machine had black chunks of debris in it and the bar fridge was broken.
