Hidden Gem

Our family had a wonderful time staying here! The place was perfect for our needs and exactly as described, homely, sparkling clean, and incredibly comfortable. Our host Sarah provided excellent service, seamless check in and out, provided local recommendations and was very responsive to our late requests throughout our stay. Our family loved the proximity to the city and stunning views from the balcony, and we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended.
