Stayed here in an Airbnb and it's was lovely! A nice studio apartment, fully furnished with everything I needed. Right downtown close to shops and restaurants.

Love these apartments! My husband and I considered moving here if our house sold, just to get a feel for how we would like to live downtown. Chloe was excellent showing us around and answering our many questions. We ended up taking our house off the market, but still wish we would have been able to give these a try.
