We loved the layout and the decor of the condo. All the paintings/ pictures were really nice. The bed is very comfortable and love how we were able to walk to all the shops and dinner spots etc. we love that there was a fireplace for the chilly nights even though the condo wasn’t cold and super easy to work. And Laurie was very easy to communicate with and would respond quickly if we had a question. Would definitely recommend this condo to others looking for a great place to stay.

Lauren L.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Decorated cute and clean. However this is not comfortable for more than two people. There is no where to put any clothes so we had to live out of the suitcase which I was hoping not to do with a condo. Only thing was a closet with maybe 10 hangers. No dresser no where to put anything. Bathroom and shower is tight with also no where to put any shower stuff or anything else. Had to rearrange things to be able to set my bathroom supplies in the kitchen. There is also no full length mirror anywhere except a bunch of little ones on the bathroom door. So getting ready while someone is in the bathroom isn’t an option. Living room was packed with the remaining of our suitcases/things. Not sure how 4 people could sleep here. We did appericate the fridge, balcony, access to the jacuzzi late and free tickets. I am glad the price was discounted when I booked. I wish I wouldn’t have canceled our hotel for this but we decided to try something different. We were contacted by three different numbers which was a little confusing when we had to reach out for drano and tp. I reached out to the numbers asking for a later check out because we had a far drive home (hotels usually do 11am or noon if you ask) I received no response. It was clear the answer was no but a text back would have been nice. Didn’t receive a text back till they were asking when we were going to be out because we were packing the cart for the elevator running about 10/15 mins late.

I am very sorry you did not enjoy our rental. However I would like to point out that this review might stem from the fact that you snuck in a dog and my cleaning girl caught it after she showed up to clean and you were still there. We never got a text or email asking for a later check out. I am sure no hotel would have appreciated sneaking in a dog either.

I am so sorry that the elevator affected your stay so badly that you gave us a score that was based on something we could not control. What we can control is the cleanliness, free tickets and free wifi all which lead to you saying you had great time in our rental. You grad us on something we could not control
