I am a picky person when it comes to cleanliness, and this place passed the test! Very clean. Pros: Cleanliness, location, easy parking, A/C was great, and it was spacious for 5 people. Cons: Kitchen is not well-stocked, pets can not be left unattended and you don't know that until you get the check-in information the day of, and blinds were broken in the bedroom and on the front door so you couldn't close them at all (that's a problem when people are changing in bedrooms) I would suggest the owners add that pets can not be left unattended in the listing info. Furniture is worn and cheap, but that didn't matter too much to me because the beds/mattresses were clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay there again. We ate a few times at the Newbo Market and Kismet Coffee shop - so close and easy to access!

We enjoyed our stay and the location of the property. The hosts have a helpful manual for the property- I recommend looking at it for their recommendations. We tried the Full Bowl, walking distance from the property and it was wonderful! There are several museums in the area that we would recommend visiting. Kismet coffee shop was great. There is hiking not too far away for outdoor people. We visited Indian Creek Nature Center and recommend it for all ages. We enjoyed the space of the property and the hosts were very responsive of our questions. The hosts also had clear instructions for check in and check out. We would stay there again.
The space was clean and tastefully decorated. Very welcoming. The property has stairs to access the property. The owners have another property attached that appeared to be accessible if your group needs that.
Kids (11&18) enjoyed playing this retro game.
A yummy place walking distance. Vegan and gluten free-unless noted by menu
A 10-15 walk from the property. There is also an Africa American museum VERY CLOSE to the property that is highly rated, we ran out of time but would recommend going, we would have if we could have!

We were a little disappointed by the lack of dinnerware and cookware in the kitchen. None of the basics ie: salt, oil, dishwasher detergent were available. We tried to use the oven but when turning it on to preheat it was evident by the immediate smokiness that the oven was very dirty and we immediately turned it off. The bedrooms were nice but livingroom seating was sparse and uncomfortable, no dining table options. This is in a great location if you are looking for just a place to sleep and shower, unfortunately we like to cook and relax on our getaways. The hosts were very present with messaging and accessible.

We would gave the property 3 stars. The location is wonderful but the apartment could be more comfortable and functional. Here are my suggestions.The dishes are limited. At a minimum add wine glassesBlinds are not all working and are difficult to open and close.Bathroom towels: lots of bath towels but 1 hand towel is not enough.Main living area furniture is worn and not comfortable. Outside lights are continually going on and off.Only 3 hangars in the closet and the one bedroom has no hanging space.The grill is really worn and dirty.Window screens need repair. A few upgrades would make a huge difference.
