The beds were exceedingly comfortable. We didn't spend a lot of time in and zero cooking so don't have a lot to comment there. But it was the perfect size for us two. Could walk to great brunch options in the morning. Really no negatives at all except both neighbors had lots of excitable dogs that barked at our coming and going, as well as visitors to their houses.
