We didn't mind that the kitchen had no built in oven /rangetop because there were so many terrific restaurants in walking distance we wanted to try. The countertop microwave & oven were sufficient for our minimal cooking. Our only issue was a malfunctioning dryer - the mgmt responded quickly to our report of and attempted to fix it twice but its probably in need of replacement. Despite that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! ##### Eliza W. Stayed 14 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Walter M. May 1, 2025 ##### Walter M.
