9.2/10 Wonderful! (346 reviews)
Very cute property. I marked it down for 2 reasons: (1) bathroom has a sliding door with a 2” gap that is easy to peer in and out of and is not private so if you’re traveling with a new partner, just something to be cautious of, and (2) my room was not quiet at all. I’m not a light sleeper but I could hear road noises and sounds of people walking by and setting up at the park across the street. Overall, the property is cute, and I love the patio social hour. I would probably come back!
