Perfect location. Comfortable and clean. Challenging to manage two women and one full bath, but made it work. There are a lot of stairs, some narrow, in an older building. May be challenging for someone with mobility issues. We had no problems. Excellent communication and stocked with everything we could need. Looking forward to our next trip to visit our Hillsdale athlete.
