Great stay!

We had a great stay here, loved being steps away from the farmers market and close to a few restaurants-- parking was a plus! Ken returned our call quickly when we had questions. The bathroom needed a little extra scrubbing on the walls/baseboards, but overall the space was very clean and well cared for.
