Online Listing Info Incorrect
The property was listed as a 4 bedroom when we booked it. When we arrived, the 4th bedroom was locked and marked as private. HUGE inconvenience. Further, the homeowners food took up all cabinet space leaving no room for storage for our food.

We had a lovely time at this beautiful home. It was clean, comfortable and stylish. I only wish we had more time to experience the plethora of artwork in every room. Great neighborhood, soft sheets, comfortable mattresses!
