    Host was exceptional with communication and even delivered fresh brewed coffee when alerted that it ha mistakenly it been provided. Also suggested a great, nearby restaurant. Both apartment and nearby restaurant have secured parking. Apartment is small, but cosy, well appointed with great host - would definitely recommend and will stay on our next trip through. 🙏👍
