• 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.
