"The unit we were assigned was 504 and had a fabulous wrap-around view. The apartment was clean and bright and everything we expected was there. The bed and pillows were comfortable and the space was quiet so we got a great sleep there. The only really thing we would have liked would have been a toaster, which would have made breakfast preparations much easier."

The owner was super friendly. Would definitely stay here again. "
