My husband and I really enjoyed our ten day stay. The accommodations were wonderful with an amazing view. The location was great, you could walk to many nearby restaurants and shops. The front desk staff were friendly and always ready to help. There are washing facilités on site that made it very convenient to keep up with laundry! The full kitchen was well equipped, it was great to have an option to cook at home. We would stay again and are planning our next trip back!
