Not the friendliest place to stay. The bathroom needed a good clean. They were painting outside so we couldn't use our a/c one day. I'd only stay if there was no where else to stay.

We stayed in the two bed apartment for 8 nights. It's comfortable, quiet and had all we needed. Friendly owners who went out of their way to help us. Would stay there again for our next trip.
