    Enjoyed our weekend stay, close to everything we needed enjoyed the apartment. Clean place, nice shower. Owner responded well to all questions. Would have liked a phone number in the confirmation email, as we would have called on our trip in to clear up some directions but got it in apartment information sheet provided and figured it out on our own. Will definitely look at again in the future.…
