First Island’s place was great! It’s located within walking distance of a ton of shops and restaurants. The grounds are well maintained and there’s a cute little pool to cool off in.
The room itself was very clean and as it was just myself, it was very roomy. The bed was comfortable with room for two. There is a sleeper sofa that fits two more but it would cause the room to be a bit cramped. The patio overlooking the pool area is a nice way to start your morning with a cup of coffee.
There’s a nice kitchenette with full size fridge, microwave and toaster oven but no stove.
The bathroom is smaller than I’m used to with a one person shower. I’m 5’4, 120 lbs and I bumped my elbows a few times. But, it gets the job done, the water is hot and the pressure is good.
Two things to be aware of…
1. The parking lot is small. I stayed there for a week and was only able to find parking once. There’s a lot of street parking but just be aware you’ll need to walk.
2. There is no elevator and the stairs are the older, narrower type with that thin, green carpeting. Going up with luggage wasn’t an issue but coming down I had a fairly serious injury upon check out. Be very, very careful.
