First and foremost, Brenda was the most amazing host anyone could ask for. The unit was not only clean as can but she goes way over and beyond to provide whatever you may need for your stay. My wife must have said 100x how cute the place was and the host was. We are actually looking for another event at the Genesee Theater just so we can stay here again and also visit Nightshade and Darks, an amazing bar with the best old fashioneds ever. Thank you Brenda!!! You go above and beyond.
