"Everything in this suite was new, high quality, and extremely clean. We could tell Angelo and his wife have a great understanding of what visitors enjoy; bedding, towels, furnishings, and appliances, all new and sparkling clean; not a thing forgotten here. It was like living in that apartment you really couldn’t afford yet the price was so affordable. The location perfect, quiet safe neighbourhood situated with ease to the #1 for daily travels. Would definitely recommend Coach House"
