We loved our stay! A great location close to downtown. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The apartment was great, comfortable bed, spotlessly clean, and well-equipped with a fridge, microwave, toaster, and a combo air-fryer/toaster oven....

Staff where amazing and accommodating when we had to extend our stay and accommodate additional family members staying a night while we supported a family member in hospital. So close to hospital, very clean and comfortable and warm.
