"This was our third stay and we plan to return again in the future. It is conveniently located within walking (or cycling in warmer weather) distance to wonderful trails that are nicely maintained during the winter months. A grocery store and a couple of neighborhood restaurants are also within walking distance. Also, nice updates to the duplex!" - Paula and Joe

Nice location in the city

Good property that is centrally located to get around. Good accommodations. Only slight downfall is the backyard. Grass is basically all weeds, which is a hotbed for bugs and mosquitoes. You cant sut outaide and enjoy, but still the location is good.

We stayed for an extended period while we were in transition for housing and enjoy the convenience of the location, the cleanliness and coziness of the home and the opportunity to get to know a new part of town.Andrew was highly responsive, even letting us know about rules and regulations regarding snow so that our stay would be comfortable.
