This was a great place for two of us-plenty of space to each lay out our suitcases and toiletries for 5 days, small and functional kitchen area, easy transit access. I'm recommending to friends.

Nice apartment, cozy and clean. We were family of 4, 2 young kids. Host was very nice, went above and beyond to provide us a Pack&Play for the baby too. We just needed a place to sleep for a few days, so this was just perfect for us. Assigned parking was a great benefit. Great location.

Overall we had a great, peaceful stay. On our last day we ran into car trouble and the hosts were very gracious and understanding of the situation allowing us a later checkout and to store our things in the garage as we made other transportation arrangements.

Property exactly as described. It is on a busy street as was noted so the ability to pull out forward was very helpful. Comfortable and clean and conveniently located. Would stay there again!
