Really an excellent property. Off street parking right at the unit. Super easy check-in and access. Home was exceptionally clean and well-equipped. AC in the main area kept the home nice and cool on a couple of warm days. State St 1.5 blocks away. Beach an easy 10 minute walk. Really great value for the quality and location.
