My husband and I were quite surprised at our negative experience after reading so many great reviews. When we first arrived we were overcome by the pungent smell of mildew. All windows in the condo were closed when we arrived. The first night we could hear the heavy footsteps of the people in the unit above us well into the night. Between the smell and footsteps, it was difficult to sleep the first night. We opened all of the windows, and the smell improved the next day. We notified the host of the above issues, and were relieved to hear they had contacted the people above about the noise. We were also disappointed to find that the hot water heater seemed to only be big enough for a hot shower lasting just over 5 minutes. It did reheat quickly, but every shower ending with a quick rinse in luke warm water was not pleasant, especially for the price and with the other issues mentioned above. Overall, the views from the condo were incredible, but the condo itself was not. We loved the North Shore and will certainly be back, just not to this condo.
