"We really appreciated the proximity of the property to the cruise port! Made for quick and easy access to the port. We didn't realize that one of the beds was actually a sofa bed in the living room, but that was really not much of an issue. (I may have simply overlooked or missed that when reading through the property description.) One negative: The coffee make was missing the 'filter bowl' that holds the coffee filter . . . But we worked around that easily."
