charming riverside retreat

the apartment included a dishwasher and washing machine! the bed was comfortable and the view was good. i particularly enjoyed the cute package, it featured eggs, a sourdough loaf, butter, milk, and orange juice.
the location is superb, however, the room rate seems high relative to the facilities provided.
