Jul 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Place - Great Host - Will Book Again for Sure I rented 333 for family members to stay in while they were visiting and they loved it. Elle, the host, was great and she had everything my family members needed and a whole lot more. The place was very clean, very well laid out, very nicely decorated and Elle was very available in case we would have needed anything, but since the place was so well equipped it wasn't necessary. The host also lives nearby so that had we needed anything I'm sure she would have been able to help out quickly. I will definitely try to book 333 again the next time family members come to visit. ##### FRANK M. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeran G.
