"We had a great 6 day stay here. The property is in a perfect location and a beautiful neighborhood. The bedrooms are very small (no room for a dresser) and have small closets (and no luggage racks so we had to store our luggage in the hallway still mostly packed). It was nice to have a kitchen and a large outdoor patio. The washer dryer was broken but the staff was kind enough to do a load of laundry for us and on day 3 we came home to a new washer dryer. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again...
