Best VRBO we have stayed at!

The property is so very well maintained and streamlined. The beds are super comfortable and so much space for each person to sleep with privacy and a TV for each sleeping area. The location was fanastic, within walking distance to parks, shops and coffee! David was a very responsive host providing directions to assure we found it easily. Highly recommend this VRBO.
