This apartment is just as beautiful and spacious as it appears on the listing! Everyone having their own bathroom worked out very well. The apartment is centrally located, Walking distance to the downtown area in one direction and to a convenient grocery store two blocks in the other direction. While it is not very far from the waterfront, it’s a little bit far once you walking distance to the downtown area in one direction and to a convenient grocery store two blocks in the other direction.
While it is not very far from the waterfront, it’s a little bit far If you have small children or if you do a lot of shopping to carry back. We drove there with our rental car.
The parking area in the garage is a very tight space, so be prepared if you rent a medium or large size car. Although we personally felt safe walking to nearby restaurants at night, we did one time park our car on the street for an hour at about 7 o’clock in the evening and it got broken into. I would say if you park your car on the street at all, make sure that absolutely nothing is showing through any of the windows. We also found out afterwards that the car rental company had tire and window insurance, so apparently this is not a rare occurrence even in otherwise safe neighborhoods.
Also know that there is pretty significant street noise. We were able to sleep well in the comfortable queen size bed in the master bedroom with a fan going for white noise to counteract the street noise.
We also had to buy quite a few basic items for the kitchen, such as salt and pepper, easily obtained at the Woolworths market less than two blocks away. We did find several good places to eat very close by, including a great ice cream place open late!
We had a few minor issues in the apartment which were quickly responded to and fixed via Airbnb.
Overall, we would stay here again.
