Everything about this was perfect. The cute little apartment was very clean and comfortable. Fully equipped kitchen so we were able to have breakfast in and save a few quid! The location was in a quiet and safe neighbourhood with very simple and affordable access to the city. Probably my favourite stay throughout my travels around the states thus far. The owner was very easy to contact and very helpful in regard to any questions or queries we had or any help we needed while we were there.

Great deal! Excellent location, great room with everything you could ask for, including washing machine and dryer. Absolutely spacious. Very clean. Parking is costly for those coming with a car - the location is so central that there is no need for a car. Highly recommended.
