Great location!Well appointed kitchen, cookware and appliancesSpotless.We were in the accessible suite (due to availability), so large ensuite bath with grab bars, hand rails, easy open doors, etc.Only oddity(and easily fixable) was the shower curtain being held up by a tension bar/rod…… it did not hold up to towels being tossed over to dry.
