Very nice apartment, not exactly remote.

The apartment is nice, clean and comfortable, but when I inquired ahead of time about property size and hikability, I got no answer. Then when we arrived, we found we were next to the highway, in a multi-unit setup, with no hiking. It's not upfront that you are above a closed store.

The inside of our unit was very nice; the outside looked like an abandoned gas station. It was hard to find as we didn't realize we were staying at an old gas station with some buildings in the back. The coffee maker doesn't work so if you like fresh coffee in the morning, you might be disappointed. The host was hard to get a hold of.
