The host, Paula greeted us warmly when we arrived at this upscale & beautifully decorated private unit! She offered us recommendations for great restaurants & things to do in the area. A visit to the Botanical Gardens is worth the trip!It was great to have use of the carport as it was chilly & frosty in the mornings! All of the amenities in the space were wonderful!

Stayed here for 3 nights with wife and in-laws. Listing doesn't do a very good job of telling you that the unit is not the building, but a smaller suite upstairs. Place was clean and updated. Kitchen had all of the bare essentials to do minor cooking (making breakfast was fine). One bedroom is on the main level, directly connected to the single bathroom. Other two bedrooms are up a VERY steep set of stairs that anyone that is not a child would struggle to use more than once. Doorframes on the upstairs units are also very low, anyone 6'2 or tall will easily bump their head unless they are actively avoiding it, as I did. Also, the price of the cleaning fee for this small of a place is absurd.
