Summary: This was a wonderful little accommodation in a prime location. It felt much larger than the photos indicated, and everything felt pristine and comfortable. I would stay here again and recommend it to friends without hesitation. My few suggestions for the owner: a box of tissues, a curved shower rod to keep the curtain off of you, and some pants hangers with clips. Even without those changes it's a lovely place to stay! This was a great experience for a great price.
