Liked: Cleanliness
Great Location. Beautiful neighborhood. Close to everything. Fantastic views. Loved that there was essentially two 1 bedroom apartments. The spiral staircase was tiny so we were not comfortable using it. But it was easy enough to go around to the front door. Super comfortable beds. Our favorite was to just sit on the deck and enjoy the breeze. We also enjoyed walking the historic neighborhood. Easy check in. Good communication.
