Fantastic apartment and location.
The property is beautiful. It has great views to the beach and is in an ideal location for access to the beach, Pier fairground and tram transport. Highly recommend! side note: I must apologise. I have made a mistake regarding which apartment I was reviewing. The scores and improvement points that I provided on the previous page were for another apartment we stayed in this during this trip. However, it seems that I cannot go back to rectify this. This property was fantastic and I really hope that my mistake does not affect any scores for this property.

Week in Galveston
It was a pleasant experience, the weather was pretty good. Some construction in the area but not to crazy. Had a relaxing week getting some things done. This is a great location as there is many places to walk to. The rental is very nice , practically brand new and the bed was comfortable. There was a small kitchen area that I didn’t use, it had a electric stove top and plenty of cooking amenities along with a medium size fridge. I can certainly recommend this place, it was a enjoyable experience.
