Stunning views, modern amenities, great location
Our group of 6 stayed at this gorgeous apartment for an inter-generational family vacation. Family of 4 -parents w/ kids aged14 & 20 -plus grandparents. We were mostly very pleased with the apartment -which is modern, attractive & has amazing views from the living room/dining/kitchen; master suite; and balcony. It is very conveniently located - just a 5 minute walk from the ferry terminal, public bus route, large grocery store, and several restaurants/ cafes. There is also parking onsite for one vehicle. We didn’t use the pools onsite (water was cold, full of young kids splashing).
A few things weren’t ideal: privacy in the apartment was minimal b/c of the compact layout, light sliding bedroom doors that don’t lock, shared balcony, and a masher suite in which the bed, bath and shower are all in the same open space. Noise carried easily from one part of the apt to another -whether from tv or cooking in the main room, the clothes washer or (rattling) dryer in the shared hallway half bath, or family chatting on the balcony sofa located directly outside the master bed/bath area. We also had unusual difficulties with kitchen appliances, 2 of which stopped working while we were cooking dinner, and one (the fridge) which beeped annoyingly for days until we were instructed to pull it out and turn it off to reset it. The agency tried to help with the wayward appliances, but the malfunctions were frustrating and time-consuming. In all, though, the pros far outweighed the cons!
