My daughter and her new husband stayed at this apartment for two nights over the Thanksgiving holiday. Their flight was delayed for five hours so it was a relatively late arrival time. They were very impressed at how easily they were able to “check in”. Also, they were very pleased with the accommodations. It was the perfect extra room that we needed for our family’s holiday.

The studio was as advertised. Cute, like being on the set of “ Friends”. Warm, inviting and very clean. However, after dark, it was very difficult to navigate through the yard to the door. I always carry a headlamp, but be careful.

Our experience at this place was unique; the best relaxing get away I have had in many years. From check-in to total comfort and cleanliness to privacy and coziness. And “Friends-Themed”accents made our stay specially touching. It was a delight walking downtown to great restaurants and stores while admiring beautifully maintained new and old architectural gems that made us feel both amazed and nostalgic. And more than anything, a town we felt safe and welcomed everywhere. It is for sure one of our best places for our getaways to relax, and we definitely recommend to anyone who value practical-efficient amenities, comfort, privacy, fun, and safety. This place and our host, really, exceeded our expectations.
