Ursula leaves a bottle of wine for guests during their stay, has a fully equipo kitchen (including full stocked and organized seasonings). Back yard was super cute. Location was perfect. 10-15 min from night life/brunch. Can not say enough good things about our stay. We will be back! ##### Madeline S. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patricia C. Apr 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### We felt at home. Pictures are accurate. So many small decor details that we loved. The home didn’t feel like a rental. It was very welcoming and cozy. I’m that person that flips the pillows, removes sheets, looks under the sofa and beds to make sure it’s not dirty. This home has met my standards. We are 100% returning to Ursula’s lovely home. Thank you!!! ##### Patricia C.
