The accommodations were nicer than we imagined even though the air conditioning in the master bedroom was not working well. The location far exceeded our expectations and our stay of 4 nights could of been 2 weeks to take it all in.

I left a pair of my designer sunglasses in the apartment, and couldn’t find it, thought I left in one of the shops while shopping. Shortly after we checked out, I received an email asking if we left my glasses behind. Very professional and honest. Greatly appreciate. The place and clean and gave me a welcome vibe! I highly recommended.

Location of the property was excellent. Lots of dining options within 1 block. Furniture was tired however. Leather on sofa was cracking. Requested the two single beds in second room be made into one, although this was done, they remained two beds with 1 cover. Most accommodations have a mattress pad linking two beds together. The mattresses should be replaced, springs are wearing thru. In summary, stay for location, not for the bed. We provided our guests the main bedroom & received no complaints
