Nice Island Stay

Cozy place with a bright sunny terrace. The kitchen is updated and modern, but the single bathroom could be refreshed. Easy to work with the property manager and check in/out. Great location for walking everywhere on the island.

Disliked: Communication
The unit was fairly well equipped - especially the kitchen. Great location and Garage parking much appreciated. Unfortunately the internet did not work well, and we had no heat the first night - 24 hour contact said they would contact us and they never did. Had to call again in the morning and finally got it fixed. Also faucets in bathroom are loose and in danger of falling off, and dryer did not work.
