Lovely home
This lovely home is spacious, clean and well cared for. The location great, a short walk to the hiking trails at Starved Rock State Park and a few miles from Matthiessen State Park. We also biked on the I&M Canal Tow Path Trail in Utica. However, our favorite part of the stay was relaxing at the townhome.

Utica trip
Was good after getting the A/C fixed within 3 hours of arrival. A bit frustrating at first due to heat wave and convincing the owner that we needed a service technician. After the property manager came out and observed the problem the owner then sent us a service technician and he fixed the capacitor on the unit and then it took most of the night to cool off. All in all it was a nice property.
