Lovely Clean Upper Apartment

Spotless, wonderful location close to town with several restaurants. Only negative is that it is on upper floor of duplex (Owner below) and there is a long staircase. One of the two bathrooms has a miniature size pedestal sink which is hard to use, but the second bath is nice. Had food and beverages included in refrigerator. That was especially appreciated. Kitchen is very pretty with beautiful cabinets and counters. Beds comfortable, nice linens.Would definitely stay there again
