B&B Ma&Mi For You

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here 1 night. The room was clean and perfect. The continental breakfast was tasty. Location is walkable to good food and the beaches. Parking is free but limited. We felt lucky to find a spot. It’s a little confusing which building the apt is in. FYI- once you park, walk back up to toward the street and the building is on the left. Look for the glass doors leading to a dark, empty lobby. Enter the building and walk to the left, take the tiny elevator to the 4th floor."
