"Beautiful view of the harbour and a simple but nice apartment with a king bed and a sitting area with foldout couch. Worked well for 4 people overnight. Breakfast was a nice continental with yogurt, juice, cold cereal w/ many toppings, and toast. It was a very short stay but I would return"

10/10 Excellent
"Our sunny, upstairs 1 bedroom unit was spacious and clean. The jet bath and kitchenette were great. There appears to be enough parks for each unit. We were within walking distance to a few restuarants and 3 fast food places. The host made us aware of some road noise in the front units. So if you are a light sleep request a quiet room. The unit was exactly like the photos. We would stay here again."
