10/10 Excellent
"It was a great stay, convienent, a good location not too far from the beach. It definitely felt like an apartment complex, but you can't beat the price. I enjoyed the kitchen amenities, great open room and balcony. AC was perfect, I looked forward to it every night. I put a 4/5 stars, because there were odd stains on the bedding and there were no available outlets near the bed. It was quiet, an easy check-in, I would stay here again."
