Wonderful last minute get away!
We needed a little break from our fast paced life and this was the first spot that popped up on my search. It was perfect! The hosts were very accommodating and helpful, although we didnโt need anything, everything we needed was there and they let us know several times they would help with anything we needed!

Not as expected
Overall the place was nice. However there are a few things any travelers should be aware of before booking. The condos are in a completely dead zone. We had a tough experience at start with this as our initially booked condo wasnโt cleaned. There isnโt a way to communicate unless you go across the street to the restaurant. Once settled the connection worked. This is definitely something that should be shared. Also if you are a light sleeper plan on waking up at 7:00 am to the loudest trucks, garbage trucks, who knows. Again, wouldโve been nice to know up front. The assistant manager was nice and gave us another condo because it wasnโt busy. Again, overall the condos are nice but way too many things not shared up front.

Great (modern) place to stay!
Very nice place to stay. You need to climb a flight of stairs to get to main floor, and another to get to bedrooms. Not a problem for us but good to know for others. Very comfortable place. Spacious and beautiful. Highly recommend! Great restaurant across street, Fiddle Heads.

Beautiful, clean property. Perfect location
Our stay here was perfect for our family and had everything we needed while visiting the area. We loved that it was so conveniently located next to a grocer, several amazing restaurants and a coffee shop. The condo was impeccably clean and tastefully decorated with modern decor. We really enjoyed staying here. Also the condo was built very nicely in regards to sound insulation. We didnโt hear our neighbors at all. Highly recommend.
