Very nice Apartment, 3 bedrooms gave our family plenty of space to sleep and relax. We were busy on the island, so we didnt get to enjoy the fireplace or morning room area. Driveway is a little tight, but the street isnt busy to pull out in reverse.

Very cozy, welcoming property. James is lovely and a very accommodating host. Very responsive. And the enclosed patio, surrounded by greenery, is a real plus. Beds are very comfortable. We were three women. But the set-up is also good for families.
