Comfy “Boathouse”

This is a very clean, spacious place for two people. It had everything we needed for our four night stay. The private back yard space is a real plus, and the North End location is very convenient. We enjoyed our stay here.

Everything you need to have a comfortable stay, great backyard patio, easy parking, and a quiet neighborhood. Location could not be better. Easy access to downtown and Camelback park is only a block away. Slept very well on the king size bed and bathroom and shower had everything we needed. Check in and out super easy, could not recommend more. 10/10
