Summary: The place was exactly as described and the host, Michael, was fantastic to work with. Between the information provided in the listing and the emails he sent us, we had a complete understanding of what to expect, the amenities etc. The unit was clean and comfortable and centrally located. We would strongly consider booking this again when we are back in the area next.
