There was construction in the building that started earlier that 7AM. The wifi was not working much of the time and slow the rest which also meant no tv as it requires internet. The Appartment was over thirty degrees C when we arrived and the air conditioning was not able to get the temp down by bed time ##### kelly Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Sarah M. Aug 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Great apartment and location for Dartmouth. Super quick walk to the ferry. The place was clean but the walls were pretty thin and you could hear people in the halls pretty well. There’s also a large crack in the wall but other than that it was a great stay. ##### Sarah M. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Ellen C. Aug 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in The property was spotless. I would have preferred a chair in the corner instead of the huge plant. I had to sit on the bed to eat. The facilities could use a new mattress in the covey beach room. The place was easy to get around and it was priced respectable. ##### Ellen C.
