Summary: This is a beautiful home in a wonderful neighborhood with easy access to all types of services. The owner’s attention to details is most impressive. The property is well stocked with extras beyond expectations. The beds are comfortable. All bedrooms require stair access which was not a problem for our party. Danielle is the best hostess: attentive, anticipates the guests needs, responsive, and generous with the quality of her provisions.
