The best part is the outdoor space, that is where we spent 95% of our time. We enjoyed the great weather & people watching. Only downside was the noisy upstairs occupants. Maybe this won't always be case? No fault of Al's, I think he will try to communicate with the new owner about the issue. If you want guaranteed privacy and quiet, this unit may not be the place for you. I believe Al rents out the place next door to this unit that is a single home, which would be a great little place to stay.
