The space was nice and cozy, and we especially appreciated the terrace, which gave my son plenty of room to work on his robotics skills for his competition. It's rare to find a place that feels both stylish and practical for the whole family.Would definitely stay again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique, well-appointed retreat!

Great location minutes away from the Zoo and a bunch of restaurants. Space was clean and had all the amenities you need if you are traveling with kids. Host even provided a wagon for us to use while we went to the Zoo.
