"The apartment is awesome, comfortable and has everything you need however if you plan on spending time at the apartment with the doors to the deck open or relaxing on the deck think again. This apartment is located directly above the bar so you hear all conversation and noise but the worst is the road noise at times we couldn’t even hear inside unless we closed the doors. Fantastic apartment if you are not planning on spending much time there."
