Perfect house! We came from Brazil. We traveled to a few places, and this house was the best we stayed in. It has everything you need. Full kitchen, great and comfortable rooms, great bathroom. Washer and dryer, you have no idea, it felt like -25°, and there was hot water all the time. We were extremely pleased with our stay. We will definitely come back, and this will be our choice again.

Everything about this was perfect. The cute little apartment was very clean and comfortable. Fully equipped kitchen so we were able to have breakfast in and save a few quid! The location was in a quiet and safe neighbourhood with very simple and affordable access to the city. Probably my favourite stay throughout my travels around the states thus far. The owner was very easy to contact and very helpful in regard to any questions or queries we had or any help we needed while we were there.
