"I really like the place, it’s very cozy. The staff is very kind. Although I must say, I had a hard time using the tv and watching Netflix. The tv must have had at least 3 remotes and it was confusing. Unfortunately the tv in my room was not a Smart tv so u was not able to enjoy Netflix with my wife. ..."…"

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location is nearly perfect right next to the post office and La Fonda Hotel. The condo is super clean, updated, and has nearly everything you need. Only critique - the instructions for entry are not 100% accurate - wrong location listed for keypad and it should have said to enter garage before using door code. The kitchen is a little cramped for space due to the fridge being too large for the space and the door opens the wrong way. All in all - great value for the money.…
