8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Oct 2025
Nice size rental unit. Near wineries However, when we arrived, unit smelled very musty. We had to open windows to get odor to dissipate, but traces still lingered throughout our stay. It wasn’t easy getting suitcases up and doing stairs. You should also install a hand rail in the shower/tub of the smaller bathroom.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2025
Beautiful apartment! I loved the furniture and the decorations were amazing, I wanted to take the couch home with me! Amazing shower in the masterbath room, entire suite is updated nicely. The only issue was the noise across the street and the traffic. I HIGHLY recommend for people who like to stay out late.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·May 2025
This house overall was exactly what we needed. We were apart of a wedding party and rented all but one unit. The individualized units made it still inclusive but secluded all in one. The townhouse unit where we stayed was the perfect size and getaway. I appreciated communicating with Julie; she was so friendly and accommodating for my 3yo twin boys. 5 min to our venue at the winery and about 20-30 min into town.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jul 2024
The overall property was
nicely decorated with both modern and antique decor.
There were a few negatives, however,. They were: no toiletries for the bathrooms, no bathtub/shower rugs no hand towels, no condiment nor coffee for the coffee maker and no lce or place to buy them TV was very bad and hard to operate and lastly, wasn't aware until the day we arrive d just how steep the stairs were getting up to the apartment, especially for three 80 plus year olds. Inconvenient amenities for the money.
