Charming 2BR Apt in Sycamore

BesaRating, 5 stars3 months ago

My son and I had a wonderful stay at this lovely two-bedroom apartment! It was clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. We ended up arriving earlier than we initially thought and Merita was incredibly responsive. We were able to check in early and she made the check-in process seamless. The location was great, and the apartment felt welcoming and homey. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a hassle-free stay!

I very much enjoyed my stay! The location was peaceful, the host and his wife very accommodating, kind, and helpful. I enjoyed visiting with them very much! The room was exactly as pictured. And the memory foam mattress was firm yet very comfortable. The house was very clean and cozy. I cannot think of anything missing from this stay. I appreciate this host and the offering. I will definitely stay here again if I’m in the area!
