Temescal retreat

Beautifully decorated, light-filled second floor apartment with everything you need for a relaxing stay. The kitchen had good cookware, the beds were comfortable, the living room had an amazing cherry tree right outside the picture window! We really liked this house. The back yard was a nice place to sit in the afternoon sun.
