2nd time around
My husband and I stayed at this property for the second year in a row. The location is wonderful, not walkable to town but it offers a great view of the river. Very clean and just as pictured. We are looking forward to going back and would definitely stay here again.

Quick Night Away
Property was fine and great location but wasn’t too happy with the noise level of the upstairs renters. Every time the toilet flushed we heard it, and heard the foot traffic loud and clear. My husband is an air quality specialist and looked at the air filters of the air conditioning - they were very dirty. Please replace those for the next renters. We also had our parking spot taken by the upstairs neighbor. We parked across the street in gravel as we didn’t want to cause issues.

The property is a great location. It is out of the main tourist area and within walking distance of the restaurants, shops, and activities. Beautiful patio view, clean, and the pool was well maintained. Communication with the host was easy and stress free.

Nice Weekend Getaway Spot
The room was clean, bed was comfortable with nice bedding. The full sized fridge is a huge plus for ice, beer and leftovers! The unit is in close proximity to all the bars and restaurants. It was really nice having access to a pool, as it was extremely hot during our stay. The neighbors who live there and share the pool were very welcoming and friendly. One very nice man even left his bags set out for my husband and brother in law to use all day!

We only stayed for one night, but i’m glad we found this apartment because most places in the area require a two night minimum booking. It was perfect! Great location, easy to find. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect for a girl’s getaway
This property was the perfect space for my friend and I! It was clean and bed was comfortable. The only 2 complaints I had was the remote to the tv didn’t work and I had to figure out how to reprogram it; the listing also had a hot tub and there was no hot tub on the property. This should be removed from the listing. Great place!

Great place to stay.
This place was great! The only downfall was the bed. It was not very comfy and kind of rolled you to the middle and sunk in. The place was very clean, quiet, just perfect…..except the bed. 😃
