This home was roomy, clean and comfortable for 3 adults. The check in process was simple and convenient. It had 2 king size beds and a full size bed, roomy living room and 2 bathrooms. The kitchen featured a coffee maker that included single serve. We were in town for a wedding and this home was within 10 minutes of the downtown area. We had a relaxing stay in this home.
