10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
The communications with Host and team were excellent and much appreciated. While we didn't plan to rent a car on this trip, the off-street parking was a great. feature. It was a short walk from the house to the Visitor Center and we were able a to board the free buses to downtown. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking breakfasts "at home" and we did use the patio and firepit at the end of the evenings. It was a lovely spot for our girl's weekend, birthday celebration.
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
Great place for a girls trip, easy walking to King Street and everything we wanted to see. The place was beautiful, very updated accommodations and interior. We loved the backyard patio with the gas fire pit. The patio is bigger than the pictures make it seem. Really enjoyed our stay.!
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
The house was clean and well cared for. Having the patio with a fireplace made it extra cozy. It is walkable to shops and restaurants. The host was very responsive. Having off street parking was nice. Would definitely stay there again.
6 / 10Average·Mar 2026
The parking space was very tight and I had to have directional help to get in and out of the space without scraping the sides of my car and then had difficulty getting in and out of the driver's side. The doors to the unit were glass and had no privacy coverings! There was no ice, so we had to walk around the corner and buy a bag. No hairdryers. But it was clean, comfortable and served our needs. Also as a senior, the front steps are quite steep and there was no handrail.
