"Super cute 3 br apartment on main Street and within walking distance to everything that adorable Alma has to offer. We stayed at Mrs. Hippie while attending a wedding at Danzinger Vineyard, so spent very little time at the vrbo this time, but would love to come back and explore more of the area. The price for one night was too expensive in my opinion, but it is what it is.."
