Liked: Cleanliness
Our stay at the Hillcrest apartment was excellent. It has plenty of space and plenty of charm. There were four adults in our group and we were very comfortable. The ability to leave our car parked in the driveway and walk to nearby eateries, coffee places, etc. was an added benefit. Messages sent to the host received quick responses. We would stay again without hesitation.
