This property is perfectly located close enough to all the excitement but tucked away so you it’s still peaceful. The home is set inviting and cozy. I loved the extra touch of small blankets in the living room to use while on the couch. The host is very accommodating and helpful for everything we could need. We can’t wait until our trip next year. This property will definitely be our go to stay!
