    The view from the funky living room was beautiful. The host stayed up late for us ( for a fee) and was friendly and helpful. Very quiet and relaxing.

    It was as expected: honest and essential, but comfortable. There was breakfast (coffee and cereal bars) with fresh fruits. The staff is very friendly. I like the location and they were very clear about the directions, which were provided by email. Many Uber and Lift may complain about carrying you up there. Just be aware and ask the host about some trusted taxi contact

    Great location close to town with beautiful sunset views. The place has all the amenities one could want in a condo. Workout room is limited so if one really wants to workout, consider a nearby gym. Curtains in living room only covered half of the sliding glass door, which did not allow for privacy at night which is my only complaint. Other than than, wonderful place. It was quiet and cozy and the host was available for any questions.
