helpful hosthome-like atmospherefree parkingmissing window
evelyn. she was helpful and really did everything she could to ensure we were comfortable. the home-like atmosphere was AMAZING!!! the living room felt particularly cozy, just like being at home. we also appreciated the free parking.
our room, the double room, lacked a window, and the shared bathroom was on a different floor! this caused a bit of inconvenience. it was a small issue but still impacted the stay.

awesome stay

friendly staffgreat locationeasy busesdated shower
the staff were super friendly. i found the location to be great. it was right in front of a bus stop, and it only took me 10 minutes to get downtown. the buses made getting around so easy!
i noticed the shower could use some upgrading, as it seemed kind of dated. this is one small thing i hope they consider for the future. it would definitely improve the experience
