Beautiful condo, wonderful location
This condo is absolutely beautiful! It is well equipped with anything you may need. The location is absolutely perfect. It’s quiet, but still close to all the things you’d want to do. We really enjoyed the sunsets on the balcony. The privacy on the balcony is great too!
