Had a great stay. Happy with the home. Very quaint, clean, and had thoughtful items. (Q-tips, pot, pans, extra blankets, ect) Only odd things to point out. Location is very central to a lot of attractions but only drivable. Not a walkable location and there is no door on the bedroom. It was a sheet. All and all very happy, and would return again.

The insulation is practically nonexistent, there was constant loud traffic outside including the late evening hours, and there was an extremely loud music party close by. I ended up having to leave around midnight, - I was partially refunded for my inconvenience, but I could never recommend this property.
