WaterFront * Exclusive View Patio * Top Level * A/C

9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (93)
"Overall it was very enjoyable. Wonderful view and great location. Should be advertised that there is no parking at the accommodation. You have to find parking on a nearby street which can be challenging. The listing says it is 1 bedroom but in reality it is a studio suite. Feel the bathroom needs a refresh. It looked old and needed more hooks to hang towels etc.. Again overall the stay was enjoyable."
