This place was perfect! SO CLEAN and the air conditioner was amazing, it was very hot outside, and the unit kept up perfectly. The owners are the nicest people ever, they waited so late for us to come in and made sure that we were comfortable. I would stay here again in a heartbeat! Don’t let the photos online scare you off, this place is precious, and even as two girls traveling alone, we felt very safe here.
