"Great views and unit met all of our needs. Would’ve given a 5, but wi-fi was very poor and only worked in main areas of apartment, and facility was very frugal on amenities like toilet paper, detergent, soap, tissues and towels. Purchased these items but didn’t want to leave when we left since they probably wouldn’t be left for next inhabitant. "
