My stay.
The unit was very clean and comfortable. However I noticed a hole in the ceiling where a fire alarm once was and also a spit in the fabric on the lounge. The grounds were well kept as was the pool area. Check in and check out was quick and easy.

Great location within easy access to everything we needed.
The only downside was caused by inconsiderate tenants who continually allowed security and apartment doors to slam shut whenever accessing the property
