    We loved our stay. The hosts were super accommodating when our schedule changed. They were so helpful when we messed up and forgot our clothing in the dryer. The home was so comfortable, with lots of natural light. It was quiet and relaxing, but also offerd the convenience of being to walk right to downtown. Such a great time!

    I’d love to give this place 5 stars and it deserves it, but there were a few noteworthy items that could be better. Before I mention those, let’s talk about the great stuff. The unit itself is perfect. Roomy but cozy, great lighting, tastefully decorated, private (no adjoining units), and located within minutes (walking) of many food and drink options including a couple wonderful rooftop bars. Honestly, this is one of those most memorable and comfortable vrbos I’ve ever stayed in with a high recommend. As for the missing star…communication from the owner/property manager was either lacking or slow, including requested answers to 3 separate questions. If communication sucks, you can’t earn 5 stars. The unit was also lacking laundry detergent despite having a washer/dryer. I sent a message about it but didn’t hear back until our last night, after we had already purchased detergent. These are minor concerns, and they wouldn’t preclude me from coming back or recommending this unit.
