The location of this property was amazing. We had a nice stay. My only complaint is that the condo was dated and had old slip covers over furniture and bed linens were cheap and came off the bed the entire time and needy some love. Nice for the $$, but needs a revamp. Bldg had generator so when power went out came back on.
