Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
It was an amazing place to stay while in Cary. I was so impressed with the little touches, like bath salts, charging cords and typical other things you might forget that are there for you... Very tastefully decorated and clean. Really everything you need AND want. The Patio is lovely. I would come back to stay in a heartbeat.
