The property was very convenient for us during our stay. Check-in was easy and the place was very clean. The air conditioner did not work our first night, but the host got it replaced the very next day. Their quick attention to this was really appreciated.

Convenient location on a main road. Near several good restaurants and above a small ice cream shop!We were there when it was very hot (beginning of July). The air conditioning could not handle the heat so it was very warm as the apartment is upstairs.

Thank you for your review! We're so glad you enjoyed the convenient location, being close to several great restaurants, and having an ice cream shop right downstairs. We're sorry the apartment wasn't as comfortable as it should have been during your stay. Your visit happened during an exceptionally hot stretch of weather, and unfortunately the air conditioner struggled to keep up with the extreme temperatures. We wish we had known during your stay that it wasn't cooling adequately, as we would have done everything we could to address it right away. After our next guests also reported that the air conditioner wasn't working properly, we replaced the unit during their stay to ensure future guests are comfortable. Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope you'll consider visiting again in the future.

The bed was super comfortable, and the whole place had a warm, welcoming feel that made it easy to relax right away.Check-in was simple, everything was well set up, and the location was perfect. It was quiet, clean, and just an overall easy and enjoyable stay.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and charming getaway in Pickerel.
