"Great location, very central and close to shops and restaurants. However, the apartment is quite dark, the bed was too soft and uncomfortable, and the Wi-Fi was unreliable—I had trouble with video calls. With a few improvements, it could be a much better stay."

"I enjoyed my stay at the Charming Jem very much! It was decorated adorably and well appointed with any items you could possibly need. Katherine was so easy to communicate with, and a gracious host! There is a grocery store within walking distance that has the best Mexican food, made daily and a tamale stand as well. Friendly neighbors and even my dog made a new friend next door. I would definitely stay again:)"
