I had an amazing time during my staying at Kasa. It was my first time and i had no idea it would’ve been this great. The apartment was super clean, well decorate and super well located (really close to the downtown area). I was able to enjoy the pool, Gym room with my access card and i felt very secure during the whole time. The team was really friendly and nice, helped me out when needed. I would DEFINITELY book again without any hesitation with them for my next trip. Thank you KASA for making such wonderful experiences for your client.

Everything about this was perfect. The cute little apartment was very clean and comfortable. Fully equipped kitchen so we were able to have breakfast in and save a few quid! The location was in a quiet and safe neighbourhood with very simple and affordable access to the city. Probably my favourite stay throughout my travels around the states thus far. The owner was very easy to contact and very helpful in regard to any questions or queries we had or any help we needed while we were there.

Great deal! Excellent location, great room with everything you could ask for, including washing machine and dryer. Absolutely spacious. Very clean. Parking is costly for those coming with a car - the location is so central that there is no need for a car. Highly recommended.
