The location was perfect, just a short walk from downtown. The Artistic Retreat was exceptionally clean, and the bed was very comfortable, making for a relaxing stay. We especially enjoyed using the sauna, which was an added bonus. During one of our walks downtown, we had the pleasure of meeting the owners. It was fascinating to learn about the history of the property and hear about their impressive artistic backgrounds. We highly recommend the Artistic Retreat.

This apartment was very clean, and the bed was both lovely and comfortable. The tiny refrigerator badly needs defrosting and the kitchen was less functional than we'd like. The wifi was sporatic, which made the tv mostly unwatchable. Loveseat and chair were also comfortable, and the location was great.
