The location for the property was great! Perfect for staying away from the hustle that happens on a daily basis, but close enough for walking to all the shops. The only things that were a negative was that the outlets in the kitchenette were not updated to accommodate the microwave and coffee maker; however, they did have updated plugs on the desk/dresser, so we were able to use them.
