Sep 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy #### Just what we needed Needed a quick overnight for a hospital visit. It was great. Comfy bed. And thankful for an air mattress for our little one. We got in late and didn't have much direction/had a hard time finding where to go in but thankfully it was a safe neighborhood and we got lucky and found parking too. It all worked out great. Cute little place and charming neighborhood, wish we had more time to check it out. ##### jessica r.
