We ended up arriving just after dark, so it was a little hard to find the building but instructions for entering the condo were great! The decor in the space is very modern and it was spotless in terms of cleaning. It was typically quiet except for the occasional heavy walker upstairs. We didn't know the community was extremely popular for trick or treaters and made the mistake of coming in from errands after sunset. The street was packed!!! Lesson learned on that one! Lol. Ultimately, we had a nice stay and loved the unit. I would definitely book this unit again. ##### Amie S.
