The blender was an added bonus. Thank you for ice, , frozen waters , tea, coffee. It was nice to be away from busy touristy places. And nice to relax after a busy sailing trip.

There was off-street parking albeit tight corridors. The apartment has no oven to cook on, just a small toaster oven. Otherwise, it was pretty well stocked including enough bath towels. I want to mention that I received a 75 charge to replace a sheet because of a "cigarette burn" in the sheet; although no one smokes! ##### Andrew K.

Part of our group made it in to stay & some did not; they even went to dinner with her. We paid extra for a larger group & she gave us a partial refund; which she did not have to. I definitely would recommend her as a host ##### Peggy S. Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jeff 31 Mar 2022 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Read the property description carefully. We did not realize that the TWO bedroom unit is sold by the occupancy and not as a complete unit. I have to take some responsibility for not investigating this properly. We were charged double for our stay as we were a group of four and not two. Additionally, I detest the way Expedia, vrbo and the way they run interference on payment and direct communication with owners. We were willing to pay more for the misunderstanding but unable to get past the internal firewalls of the booking entities and ended up paying way too much for this place. ##### Jeff Stayed 1 night in Mar 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Marjorie H. 17 Jan 2022 Liked: Communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect for what I needed.
