Lounge in the spacious living room with comfy seating and a flat-screen TV, or whip up a meal in the fully equipped kitchen—stove, oven, microwave, fridge, and all the essentials are included. Both bedrooms are cozy and bright, with ample storage, while the modern bathroom features a shower/tub combo and plenty of fluffy towels.
