The unit was clean, everything needed is there. The management sent us a message that we could check in 2 hours earlier than what was stated. Great all around experience! The parking spot is a bonus, while the town is just a few minute walk!

Very limited amenities. Would have at least expected an iron. Also the TV was sooooo small and the internet was very slow. Would have also appreciated having coffee available. Especially when we were paying over 300 a night.But the location was great.

The location was great, the place was so cute. Very clean. The only negative thing would be the shower head was hard to aim for a shorter person

Place was very cute and quaint. Honestly no issues other than the shower is absolutely awful. The water shoots straight back at the wall and gets water everywhere and it’s so hard to actually wash your body. Other than that - perfect spot for a 1-2 night stay.

April in the Artist's Suite

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a cute studio! Close to so much, quiet, and well furnished! We were able to walk to the San Juan Brewery and to the waterfront. When the power went out our last morning there, we called the manager, learned it was the whole island and were told where to go for coffee! (King's Market had limited coffee left when we got there!) Suggestions: have a Friday Harbor brochure with map in the room and adjust or replace the showerhead as it was not the best, especially for shorter people. WE will definitely recommend this to others!
