Spacious and great location

The apartment itself was wonderful and in such a fantastic location. Parking was a bit tight but we managed to squeeze into a spot each day of our stay. The only real issue was that it was so hot inside the apartment and there was no air conditioning. Not even a plug in fan! This meant we had to sleep with the living room doors open which meant it was incredibly noisy. Please get some fans.
