A beautiful well appointed spot in Burlington. Easy walking onto Brant St restaurants and shops as well as the waterfront. Spacious rooms with clean stylish furniture. Kitchen is small but has most everything you need and only one shower but we had no problems for our family gathering. Plenty of private parking. Hosts were very responsive, kind and attentive. A very nice place to stay.
