Merrilyn's charming private apt was indeed charming. Artfully and stylishy decorated, the place was very comfortable for me and my wife. There are cool areas with restaurants, etc. nearby and it's a short ride into downtown. The tree-lined neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. Plus, Merrilyn was a great host. She was prompt with her responses and very accommodating. My wife and I hope to stay at Merrilyn's apt in the future. We would highly recommend her rental.
