Jun 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Great little apartment in a great location. Parking in locked up undercover area. Easy to pick up keys and drop off. Apartment is small, but had everything we needed. Communication was fantastic. Only downside - beds and couch were quite hard, also would be good to have better pillows. Other than that, would highly recommend! ##### Aleisha H. Stayed 8 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Rose W. Jun 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in Property was clean, well appointed, quiet, and close to many cafes and shopping. It was difficult for us in our 80s to find and manipulate the lock box. There must be a simpler solution. Management could not repair the smoke alarm nor sort out malfunctioning power points in the 5 days we were there. ##### Rose W. Stayed 5 nights in May 2025
