Great place to stay

This was a great place to stay- it was central to everything, very clean and very nicely updated! The unit had everything we could possibly need while we were there. I do agree with others that the road noise was a bit loud as well as the others above us, but other than that, we had a great time!

Best decision to book this VRBO unit!

We had so much fun exploring the area and this place was conveniently located to many points of interests for us. Inside was super clean, updated, spacious, we caught up with some laundry from our travels and allowed us to regroup for the rest of our travels back to NY state. If this place is available for your time travels, book it!! You will not be disappointed! Happy travels!!

Very clean property. The general location is close to restaurants and attractions so the only reason it’s not a five star all around is that the house is located right next to a very busy road and the road noise is very obvious.

Nice Apartment

Location suited our needs for touring the area and business we needed to take care of. On a busy street but in the lower unit couldn’t really hear anything. Our dog enjoyed watching the birds and bunnies in the yard next door, pretty much stayed by the slider watching. Not the greatest area to go for walks but we were out most of time anyway. We had a comfy bed, nice kitchen and a full bathroom with a washer dryer which was greatly appreciated.

Nice comfortable flat, but location left a bit to be desired

The pros: it was a very comfortable flat with plenty of space and nice appliances and accommodations. The cons: I’ll preface this by saying we stayed in the flat the nights leading up to the Fourth of July. The cops were called to the house across the street and there were cars driving down the road with music blaring throughout both nights. It is a very busy location.
