Very pleased with this property! It was even better than the pictures. There are two bedrooms on each floor and 1 full and 1 half bathroom on each floor as well. The master bedroom on the 1st floor had a very comfortable foam mattress and my sisters said their beds very also quite comfortable. It is very spacious. We did cook one meal in the kitchen and had everything we needed… new cookware, baking sheets, utensils, salt/pepper and oil. We had a lovely time at The Main Stay and would certainly recommend it!
