The place was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. We were in brown bear and the window looking out on the street was gorgeous for looking at the fall colors and people walking by. It’s location is ideal to walking everywhere.

Incredible bargain, right in the Village! Very large and comfortable- I wish we could have stayed for a month. Just walk outside and you're surrounded by shops, restaurants, a local coffee house; even a little market right across the street.
