The property was in a very nice neighborhood, i enjoyed the unique antique look. We were within walking distance of the shopping and entertainment areas. Mrs Pat and her friendly staff ensure all our needs were met. This beautiful property boast a varity of fruit trees of which all guess were welcome to partake of. I would definitely recomend this proptery for a nice low keyed stay, it is a home away from home.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
This property is very worst and nasty to stay. I ever had any experiences that I had with this property. The staff were very rude and not responsive to my needs and questions about my situation. There is couple of room and only one bathroom. I won’t even recommend it to anyone else because it’s not worth it to pay for it. I don’t want to remember this property entire history of my life. Extremely bad experience with this property.
