All you need for a comfortable stay is inside the place, including a 55-inch TV, a plush queen-size bed, a full kitchen, and an air-conditioning unit. You can also use its off-street parking if you have a car.
Due to cat allergies, the owner only allows dogs in the vicinity, and bringing your fur friend means there’s a one-time 100 USD pet fee. Also, be mindful of your belongings since there’s a 25-USD charge plus shipping costs if you want them to be returned.
