Very cute, comfy 2 bedroom stay. Basement level but plenty of windows and light (just a somewhat low ceiling so I'm glad my 6'3" hubby wasn't with me). Kitchen is small but we didn't cook so it didn't matter. Convenient location, great coffee shop/eatery (Baskette) within walking distance. Parking is tight but doable.

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.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We had a very pleasant stay overall. The homeowner was incredibly welcoming, responsive, and accommodating. She kindly allowed us to drop off our luggage several hours before the official 4:00 p.m. check-in, which made a huge difference to our day, and we really appreciated her flexibility. The suite was also very clean and well maintained.There are just a few areas that could make an already nice stay even better. The bathroom exhaust fan was extremely loud and could probably use replacing. We also found that noise from the upstairs unit carried very easily, we could hear footsteps and movement late into the night, which made it difficult to sleep. Bring earplugs for sure!Finally, this may have been our oversight when booking, but we really missed having a dishwasher. Handwashing dishes isn’t exactly how I like to spend my vacation (I don’t even do it at home!), so adding a small dishwasher, even in the laundry area if space allows, would be a wonderful upgrade for future guests.Overall, we enjoyed our stay and appreciated the host’s hospitality. With a few improvements, this would be an even more comfortable place to stay
