Everything was good. It was clean, tidy, and comfortable for the stay. Check-in was smooth, and the host was always responsive. Overall, we had a pleasant experience.
Great value for what we paid. Everything was clean and comfortable. Only thing that might be nice is a little more separation in the downstairs unit- something to keep a bit of the noise from the common areas out?
