Conscientious host and communication excellent. Great location for walking to dinner and nightlife. Back bedroom bed very comfy. Only drawback (and this not the hosts fault) is renters above noisy—clomping back and forth, back and forth with what sounded like boots — and it was loud.What can you do?Next time we will ask for the upper rental but aside from that it was very good.

Steve is a wonderful owner. The Showstopper was was really cute. The place was immaculate, the kitchen was stocked with what we needed and the beds were comfortable. Steve was easy to communicate with and very prompt in answering any questions we had. We definitely would recommend staying here as we will likely do again next summer. And it is so close to all the action!
