    "Beautiful property, but maintenance could be a little bit better. Disappointed in the quality of the sofa hide a bed. Very uncomfortable. When Expedia said there would be two beds. I was not expecting one to be a high a bit. Other than that, the apartment was gorgeous. Ready access to the wrath Trevor Beach was a bonus. Said that the main dining room was closed. I’ve been there before when it was open."
