Clean, comfortable residence with much appreciated amenities such as linens, personal care items, nicely stocked kitchen and coffee bar. Lovely yard and patio out back! Quiet neighborhood. Hosts responded to messages promptly. The property is a townhouse with the main living spaces on the 2nd and 3rd floors which is not obvious from the photos in the listing. Good to keep in mind if anyone has physical limitations.

Messiah Graduation

So convenient to campus and grocery store. Property is clean, comfortable, and beautiful. Well stocked with linens and supplies. Very quaint and comfy outdoor space with plenty of seating and a grill. Owners were responsive and accommodating. My only regret is that I didn't have another day to enjoy it more.
