All the amenities were great. Checked all the boxes for our short stay. Property manager was very pleasant and easy to deal with. Only caution I have is the ceilings are very low - not good for tall people.

City Haven III was exactly as described. We arrived to a clean, warm, welcoming apartment, complete with a hand-written welcome sign. The home was quiet and well-equipped with everything we needed and was a relaxing place to land at the end of a long day of travel. It should be noted that the ceilings are VERY low in this home, and if you are 6 feet or taller, this apartment is not the one for you! But for us average height folks, it was lovely!

Staying at Teresa's place was great experience. The host was awesome & everything went smoothly. Totally amazed at how cute, clean & uncluttered this Vrbo is. The beds were so comfy, we slept like babies! Awesome walk-in shower too! Great location to lots of restaurants, church & shops! We'd love to go back next year! Thanks so much from Nebraska!
