Birthday Celebration 3 couples stayed to celebrate my husbands 50th birthday. House was perfect! Location was great. Nice neighborhood. A few restaurants and bars just done the street. Shops and river walk within walking distance. House was fully stocked with everything you need. FYI Lighting in bathroom wasn’t great for applying make-up.That is the only minor complaint I have. Lots of outdoor seating. Loved hanging out on the front porch. Definitely recommend.
