Great little spot!

Really enjoyed our stay at this location! The space was clean and lovely. The kitchenette has several dishes and pots and pans if you want to make food in. In the evenings, we would take a walk around the neighborhood, which was beautiful and good exercise! The host, Chris, was great. Would stay again.
