The Little House on Sherwood

Foremost, I pride myself in its cleanliness with “enhanced cleaning.” I have no hidden cleaning fee. Note, however, that ABB charges 14% for guest fees and another 9% for other charges. It is a charming two bedroom, one bath artist’s cottage. Across the street from a city park and within walking distance to many downtown attractions. For extended stays I follow AirBB’s suggested 17% weekly and 38% monthly discounts. Friday and Saturday prices are 12% higher.
