Small, clean, updated and well-located accommodation
We were surprised at how small the room was, and that the bed was a futon. But it was nicely updated and very clean, and had a lovely view of the park across the street. Easy walking distance to the opera house and historic district.

Miriam was respectful, communicative, and left the space in excellent condition. She offered feedback during and after her stay, which I appreciated. As noted in the listing, the space is compact and includes a high-quality sofa bed—hopefully future guests will find the detailed description helpful in setting expectations. I’d be happy to host her again!
