This property is very well appointed and extremely clean. The neighborhood was quiet and a bonus to have access to a garage. Maria and Arturo were very attentive to our needs and gave us good recommendations for restaurants.. We will definitely stay again on our next trip. My only recommendation is to have the carpet cleaned which is inexpensive but would make the house look perfect. Great home!

Museum district townhouse

This property is a quick 10 min walk to the museum of natural science. The location is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. The house is clean and nicely furnished, the television is not connected to cable so only streaming services are available. It was a very pleasant stay.
