My husband and I loved it! It had all the amenities we needed even as a studio apartment. It felt large - the open floor plan gives it a roomy feel.

I was in town for a workshop and needed a place to stay within walking distance. This place was perfect and provided me with a nice daily walk. It was so nice to have a full kitchen for meals. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was tidy with a cool shower, and I loved the artistic sink. It was also great to be able to do laundry. One other huge perk of this location is that it is \*so quiet.\* I would definitely stay here again. ##### Heather Z. Stayed 8 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sharon B.

It was exactly what we were hoping! The place was small and quaint and we loved the set up. We’re actually inspired to do our kitchen in the same way!!
