Great location & clean as advertised. We were amazed at how much space this home offered. Beautiful kitchen & comfortable living room. There is a lower unit with tenants but we did not see nor hear them.

This business has multiple apartments within the apartment building at this address. The apartment that I was in needs a serious deep clean and the oven door was literally coming apart. I don’t know how anyone could consider it acceptable to rent out to a guest, in this condition.
