2nd time here. Good location with nice accommodations and very comfortable rooms. Walkable to Funk Zone, nice restaurants and wharf. BBQ was nice and new. Tight garage with two cars. Still a bit baffled that 1st floor ensuite bath has no window coverings over tub or next to shower. Not much privacy for a 1st floor bathroom that you can look into from the next door backyard especially at night. Easy to fix with inexpensive blinds like every other window in 1st floor bedroom.
