Parking is an issue, but easily overcome if you have good mobility. My husband is not a walker so it was difficult for him, but I just dropped him off and then parked. Stairs were an issue. Did not expect two large flights of stairs. Luckily, there was living area and a bed room at the top of the first flight. ##### Susan D. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Audrey S. Oct 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Excellent location, we enjoyed walking to good places to eat during our stay. Close enough to the “night life “ that we experienced weekend noises as groups of people passed by into the evening hours We did not do any cooking during our stay but the kitchen appeared very well stocked. A squeegee for the glass shower door would be nice for keeping the shower clean as well as additional places to hang towels for a larger group. Additional mirrors either full length or mounted low enough to use would have been awesome since there were 5 of us getting ready to attend a wedding. ##### Audrey S.
