"20/10! This unit is amazing!!!!! So well appointed and perfectly clean! The location is right downtown and walking distance to lots of restaurants and bars. It sits above a great brewery and ample parking! Very secure building and easy access. It is by a train track (but the whole town is) and the brewery has bands on occasion, however there is minimal noise in the unit. Being from Burlington, I loved being able to come back and stay is such a cool place!!!!!!"
