Stav was very nice. The vacation rental was perfect. The views were amazing. The black out shades helped a lot, but would have been better with curtains as well since the light gets through on the sides. The laundry room was in the basement. The location is ideal. There is a lot of street noise since the fire trucks' alarms go off in the night. But, there is a terrific fan in each room that emits white noise to block out much of it. I prefer down pillows, but I got used to the ones provided. The bed was comfortable. I can see why the rental gets great reviews!
