Summary: if this is the top of your budget and you prioritize a balcony and a full kitchen, this is great. However, you’re getting what you pay for.
Management and check-in: 5 stars overall. Pros: Answered the phone quickly at all times and knew what was going on with the unit, including a middle of the night flood requiring midnight service.
Cons: lots of emails with little information consolidation—read carefully beforehand, or you’re liable to miss instructions (we did).
Unit itself: 2.5-3 stars.
Pros: Kitchen is FANTASTIC, will have everything you need and more. Balcony area offers a semi-private outdoor space to enjoy the view. AC, while kind of annoying that you have to reset it every few hours, was powerful and we didn’t have a problem with the short timer—gets VERY cold quickly, and unit maintains temp fairly well even after AC shuts off.
Cons: Unit smelled like heavy cigarette smoke covered with a deodorizer throughout the entire stay (5 nights). Additionally, the bedroom carpet, bed linens, and the living room couch are definitely due to be replaced—carpet and couch were pretty worn, and all of the above felt pretty grungy. Understandably, cell service (AT&T) throughout the unit was very spotty, but the internet didn’t reach the bedroom, which made texting/laptop use/etc anywhere but the common area tough.
