This is such a well-kept and wonderfully cozy unit that is truly like none other. The hosts care deeply about your experience as evidenced by the level of care they took to leave suggestions, instructions, a bit of history about the historic mall you'd call "home" for your stay and even added an extra personal touch on the Scrabble board inside their coffee table. Laurie's responsiveness to messages was incredibly helpful from start to finish and was especially appreciated while I was learning to navigate unfamiliar territory. As my stay was integrated with a personal bucket list quest that has and will continue to take me all over the country, my experience at this unit within The Arcade will forever be woven into my journey as a highlight on multiple fronts.
