We came into town to host an intimate baby shower for my daughter. Moyra was so responsive and accommodating. She did so many things to make our stay enjoyable. The house has so many nice touches, like the tea and coffee set-up, the bathroom toiletries and large plush towels. All the little things that add up to so much. The instructions were super clear and she also had many helpful suggestions. I was even able to meet one of her neighbors who was very kind. I'm super picky and I was really impressed! She earns her rating! ##### June S. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mishawn C.
