Comfortable, clean and spacious apartment. The a/c was great to keep us cool. The second television was nice and would have been great if we’d been there for longer.

While the AWA is in an ideal situation and great for a few nights, my stay was for an extended period of time, and an outdoor garden area would be nice to have somewhere to sit snd relax after a day out.
