Pleasant Stay
Overall great stay, quiet neighborhood with great local shops and eateries. Would definitely consider coming back. Downstairs neighbor can be a little unapproachable and check-out is earlier than most places. But other that that, good stay.

Renter Beware
This place is miserable. Even though the temps outside were cool and gorgeous, this unit was an oven. Despite the pictures showing some sort of air movement system in the unit, it was miserably hot. There are two narrow tower fans for the entire unit that hardly move any air. We opened all the windows and even hooked up three small USB fans that we travel with for white nose and were able to bring the temp down from 85 to 83, but ONLY if the front door was open. If you closed it then the temp started rising again. Reached out to the host on how to help cool the unit and the responses were largely "oh well, never said there was AC, just wait for the sun to go down". It was 10 degrees cooler outside in the direct sun. I'm guessing the air movement system inside doesn't work because he never responded to my message about it other than to point out over and over that he never said he had AC. I never even mentioned AC, just asked how to best lower the temp. We canceled our reservation after a couple hours since my daughter has a medical condition that can be life threatening in prolonged heat. He refused to refund honor the VRBO policy if the reservation is canceled in the first 24 hours after checking in. Additional info: Takes forever to respond. Never sent check in info. Had to message him the day before to get door code and check in details. Said there were towels and linens in the closets but they were all empty. Told to use the decorative towels on the bed.
