This property was amazing we had so much fun! The location is incredible, walkable to everything! Restaurants, bars, shopping and Whole Foods is literally next door and they have a ton of hot food! We ate there a few times. The host was extremely responsive to any questions or needs! The unit had everything we needed. I would definitely stay here again.
