Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was great - if you need parking you'll need to get a permit which was very easy once I picked up the rental car and sent the info. The location is downstairs, FYI. The accomodations are nice - could use a little more info on operating the heating / air devices.Bedding,bathroom all good. Very good to work with.
