Check in was a breeze. The condo was very clean and cozy. Museums and downtown Clayton were within easy walking distance. The washer and dryer located in the condo is very convenient as it cuts down on the amount you have to pack. Because of the tree out front, you will not have a clear view of the river from the balcony. However, the shade the tree provided kept the balcony cool so you could enjoy breakfast or pre-dinner beverages on it. Would recommend and stay here again. ##### Robert G.
