I definitely recommend this property. It was clean and the beds were extremely comfortable, which made for a great night's sleep. We were also pleasantly surprised by how spacious the layout was.

This was the coolest little renovated apartment! We loved all the original craftsmanship here. Easy walking distance to restaurants and The Strand. We rented a gold cart for our stay to go to the beach and Seawall. That took 5-8 minutes ti get there. The water was nice! We had a wonderful stay! Host was very quick to respond and easy to talk to! Great place for the price!

Place was clean close to places he wanted to go. Only wish it had a working elevator because it’s a struggle getting your suitcases up the stairs. Otherwise had a great stay.

Location, cleanliness, almost everything we needed. We were able to walk to many attractions/restaurants. Felt like it was a safe area. Parking signs not clear, I did get a ticket which I will contest.
