We highly recommend Nicole’s place! It’s a close trip into downtown (10ish min) and close to the Arboretum and drive to surrounding hiking trails. A small uptown area is a very short walk away with lots to do and see like a local grocery, bars, and delicious restaurants (try the Jamaican one and popular biscuit joint). The place was wonderfully decorated and comfortable and felt like a mini suite or floor of their home. We enjoyed having a separate bedroom from the kitchen/living area. They have thought of everything, from a well stocked mini kitchen with snacks to hotel like bathroom with extra toiletries. WiFi works great and a small desk space for those who may have to be on the computer. Hosts have great recommendations for things to do in the area, checked in to make sure we were comfortable, and were flexible with early check in.
