Great area if you're there to enjoy a baseball game. Good food within walking distance. Sharon was very responsive and a great host.

Loved this space. Right in the middle of downtown and it was awesome. Very walkable with every type of restaurant imaginable within a few blocks. We'll be back for sure.

Sharon, you’re awesome! Your home was comfortable and as described. You provided great detail and accommodations. Having the availability to check-in early deserves an extra star. Thank you, Sharon, for your amazing hospitality.

Sharon’s place was perfect for my husband and I to have an intimate getaway. Sharon’s hospitality and flexibility was outstanding. The place was clean and a great size for what we needed in an ideal location walkable to pretty much anything we wanted to do.
