Nice Getaway
The location of the property was perfect. Just a block away from the beach and mins away from downtown. Check in was super easy and parking was great too. It's a cute little apartment, great for a couples getaway, nice neighborhood, and the apartment came with everything we needed. The only thing that I did not like is that I did see 3 bugs in the kitchen and what they left behind on the cabinets, other than that the bed was good, bathroom was clean, and if they fix the bug situation I will definitely no doubt book again.

Good Stay
It was a good stay. Overall good. Building was a little old but that also meant it was right by the Sea Wall. Would have been nice to have lotion with the toiletries and salt and pepper in the kitchen. But I was pleased and enjoyed the location, direct TV and communication.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Bare necessities w/exception of coffee/sugar. Very noisy at night when rained. Heater noisy. Volume on TV barely above a whisper. Very skinny walkway behind tall gate to apt. A little intimidating because you can't see on either side and no where to run
