This was a great find. We were 3 adults and 2 children and there was room for everyone, found this last minute after our VRBO cancelled on us. Quiet, clean, close enough to the old city core to be accessible by a short scenic walk. Close to Arthur’s seat for a hike/run from your door. Only complaint was that the flooring slats in the kitchen moved and in some places created gaps up to 2” wide. The furnishings are showing some age and wear and tear, but didn’t affect the experience. Despite being near the main train tracks, we were never disturbed by a passing train.
