We largely used the condo. There were so many things to do off site! The walls are thin. A seasonal renter was directly below us. Each morning, she had her TV on so loud that we nearly could make out the words. Also, she had 2 dogs that barked. When they did, it felt like they were virtually in our unit. Poor sound containment. Otherwise great!

Nice place, but dirty kitchen

The place was good. Very clean and comfortable. However, basic aminities like salt, sugar, coffee were not available. The dishes, glasses and bowls were dirty. We had to wash everything before using. I may not visit again. There are lot of other options with better service and way cheaper.
