Was switched at last minute to different “upgraded home” that was totally unacceptable upon arrival. Owner then moved us back to original home for 2 nights though I booked 3 - she had someone else checking in, with no refund - paid for 3 nights - only stayed 2. Ended up staying in a hotel - 4 of us in a cramped room that cost me an additional 448. We have never been treated so poorly.

Perfect place for a group

We stayed here for a work conference and it was perfect for our needs. We had 5 people and had our own rooms and a nice gathering area. We were close to restaurants & entertainment. It has everything we needed- we didn’t use the kitchen other than the refrigerator. I would definitely recommend this place for families, etc.
