Hello,
Thank you for sharing such kind words.
Kind regards, HappyRentals Team
Beautiful place to stay!! The title ‘View and Art’, describes it to a T. The apartment is in a great location to soak in the amazing views of the lake and harbor, complete with the twinkling lights of the city at night. It was so relaxing to sit out on the patio to enjoy the views with meals a glass of wine or your morning coffee. Finally, the apartment itself was comfortable, clean and had all the conveniences needed for a great stay!P.S. One VERY small item we would have contacted the management with if staying longer (certainly not anything to make this place less than 5/5), we weren’t sure how to properly raise the window shade in order to get out the doors to the patio, kind of had to lift and duck under
