I had a fantastic stay! The property was a beautiful blend of old vs new; it was also very clean and well appointed. The location can't be beat! The hosts were quick to reply and were flexible with an early checkin request. I will 100% book again

Location! This apartment is just steps away from some fantastic restaurants and markets. It is perfect as is with beautiful floors, two bathrooms, and a comfortable bed. The only thing I would add is a reading lamp in the sitting room. I would definitely return to this same apartment again.
Our front door. Getting in and out is very easy! Perfect location!

Great location! Comfortable bed. Very quiet. Free parking. Bright spacious living room. Responsive and helpful property managers. Only complaint is that the stove wasn’t working properly. When we let them know, the manager brought over an air fryer/toaster oven and an induction countertop burner. This helped but cooking dinners was still a little tricky. If they fix the oven issue then this place is perfect.

I don’t normally write reviews but was pretty happy with this spot. Stayed here for a few days with my husband and our 2 little kids. Location was excellent especially with kids, easily walkable to the harbour front where we spent all of our time. Very clean so we immediately felt comfortable, and loved the bedroom space as well as living room space to hang out. Also, 5 min walk to the grocery store and a spot to grab wine / beer. Communication with our hosts was also very smooth which we appreciated. Thank you!

The property was close to as pictured. It is nicely furnished and had clean bedsing and towels. The location is perfect for taking a walk along the waterfront. The tv remote batteries gave out an hour into us watching tv at night, so we had to unplug it to turn it off. The bathroom off the kitchen is small and the door can't open all the way, but thats a minor issue. Parking direcrly behi d the house is convenient and easy with access to the back door once you get your keys from the front door foyer. I would stay there again.
