4.0 star property
8.0 out of 10, Very good, (247)
"Overall, a very nice place. The full kitchen and washer/dryer gave us several options and convenience. Very clean rooms with quaint and comfortable accomidations. Things that could be improved: -PARKING - The pay-only parking should have been clearly conveyed in the online materials, but it is not. -LOCK SYSTEM - The "Latch" app was cluttered with doors that are simply not used during a stay. Which leads to surfing through 33 named doors, trying to find the one correct code. Very frustrating!...
