This place was great! The apartment location was perfect - so close to the beach, 3rd Street Promenade, Montana Ave . . . But the street itself was quiet and had parking. The apartment was just as described and pictured. The bed was comfortable and the room quiet and clean. The separate bathroom just off the bedroom was a plus. But the real gem was Liz. She's been in the area for many years and was full of helpful information. And the breakfasts . . not only were they delicious and made to order, but she even accommodated my gluten allergy and made me the best lemon ricotta pancakes of all time. She had thought of everything, and was so caring and thoughtful, we felt very at home. Her two dogs were friendly but relaxed - hoping for pets but not demanding attention. The bedroom felt a little cluttered once we had all of our luggage unpacked, but she's still new to vacation renting and may still be figuring out the floorplan. We plan to return the next time we are visiting SM.
