Very walkable

Cute and cozy. Great location to downtown. Easy walk to restaurants, laundromat, pubs and markets. The walls were a bit thin and could hear street noise but it didn’t last long as the city quiets down fairly early. We would reserve this place again!

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the central location of the home! We are left wondering what we could have done to earn a 5-star review. VRBO considers anything less than 5 stars as subpar, and we would love to know what could have been done to enhance your stay. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would gladly welcome you back in the future.
