This was a perfect spot for us —excellent location, an amazing view, and clean as a whistle, Nice quiet neighborhood. Rather sparsely appointed but comfortable. However, the listing as “entire home” is misleading, be prepared for a daylight basement accessed via very steep stairs sans handrail. Knowing what to expect, we’d like to return.
An amazing view from the cozy patio
