This basement apartment was darling, just as pictured. It was very clean and comfortable and spacious. We loved the AC in each room, the clean and cozy linens, the large and well appointed kitchen and the fun decor. The hosts were kind and responsive. There is some noise that comes from staying below a family, but that was to be expected so it didn't bother us at all. We were able to walk to walking and hiking trails from the home. We would absolutely stay here again if we were ever in the area again!
