Nice place to stay if you don’t want to to deal with Hotels rooms
"A great place to stay in a great location if you want to avoid hotels. This is a private, detached studio in a beautiful, very quiet neighborhood, not far from several connected walking trails (River Park) and major shopping, restaurants and medical facilities. Carlos was very easy to communicate ..."

"Nice spot! Seems recently updated, had a decent restaurant, helpful staff, and a good location. Both elevators were out during our stay which wasn’t great for folks with luggage on higher floors (or housekeeping staff), might also be a flag for folks with limited mobility."
