I stayed here with my family when they came to visit for my graduation in December. The property is spacious and well-maintained. The apartment is cozy - great for a family of 4 to spend time together, relax, and explore the area. The property management is kind and responsive to emails. Some maintenance and updates are needed, but overall wonderful and well-priced.
