Allison was a fantastic host. I get sick maybe once a year, and I still don’t know how she did it, but I did one day in, and she made sure to extend my stay a day last minute. The unit is located close to downtown and The Pier area, which is clutch. Although the place is older, it was very clean and obviously upgraded. It’s the little things Inlook for. Comfy king sized bed. Crescent shaped shower curtain which is perfect for a bigger guy like me. Loved the big counter height dining table. Served as a great work station. Cute little dish washer. I would definitely stay there again…heck I would rent it long term.
