This is a great place to stay. Everything we needed. Good location to King Street, shopping and dining. About a 25 minute walk to historic area. Communications with Alex were great. Would highly recommend this home.

Would definitely stay again
Great location, very clean, well maintained and decorated nicely. Only complaint is privacy issues in some of the bedrooms and bathroom. The doors are glass paneled and have a sheer white curtain that is see through. We put towels up for privacy. The main bathroom has a glass panel that you can see in especially at nighttime. Also put a towel up for privacy. Minor complaint. Would definitely go back and stay again.
