Chic Guesthouse Near Downtown | Stylish, Private & Cozy

10/10 Excellent

"I had a great stay overall and really enjoyed the property. It was clean, comfortable, and in a wonderful location.Just a few small suggestions that could make future guests' stays even better:The baking sheet provided didn't fit inside the oven, so it wasn't usable.The Wi-Fi was fairly spotty at times, which made it difficult to rely on for work or streaming.There wasn't anywhere to hang clothes, so adding a small clothing rack or a few more hanging options would be a nice improvement.Overall, I had a very positive experience and would happily stay here again. Thank you for a great visit!"
