Reviews

  • Andrew from Australia – 24 April 2025 (9/10)

    The location was great. Within walking distance of great bars and restaurants

  • Julie from United States – 25 March 2025 (8/10)

    Walkable to coffee shops. It was really clean and comfy, well appointed. Easy parking across the street. The host was very gracious and communicative. Loved the separate thermostats to each room!

    What could be improved: Be prepared for a little noise from the upstairs.

  • Stéphanie from France – 23 November 2024 (9/10)

    The availability of the host was really appreciated. The cleanliness and comfort of the accommodation.

    What could be improved: A bit far from downtown if you don’t have a car. But it’s a very quiet neighborhood that’s great for relaxing.

  • Pengzhan from Singapore – 13 July 2024 (9/10)

    What could be improved: The washing machine doesn’t work. The stuff try to help with some instructions remotely but still cannot solve the issue

  • Bernie from United States – 21 September 2023 (8/10)

    Loved this beautiful, comfortable and cozy little apartment! Location in a quiet neighborhood was awesome. Parking was easy and plentiful. The apartment decor was coordinated, pleasing and restful, the amenities plentiful, beds were comfortable.
    Cleanliness an eleven! The kitchen was super well equipped and beautifully appointed. The place is totally livable, wish we had been staying for a month!

    What could be improved: The noise in the evening of generally moving about from the main house above made it difficult to go to bed early. We had to be up and out a little before 6 am so needed an early night turn-in. The noise abated before 11 pm.

  • Anonymous from United States – 25 June 2023 (8/10)

    Everything was clean and orderly. Awesome neighborhood.

  • Cecile from Austria – 20 November 2023 (9/10)
