Melody’s unit is in a wonderful location and centrally located to all the touristy places with a short walk! There are a ton of restaurant options nearby!
Check in was a breeze and very pleasant. Entering the building with a fob and signs asking you to not let in anyone behind you offers some security piece of mind.
All of the photos are accurate and the kitchen amenities are everything you would need for an extended stay or cooking your own meals (even an instant pot, vitamix and gas grill). The pull out sofa is a tad uncomfortable for someone over 100lbs the mattress is very thin, but it’s expected, it’s a sofa! The sliding door to the patio has no blinds so it is very bright during the day which may possibly make the unit a little warmer, since there is no AC available. Although there are ample trees/bushes covering the patio for plenty of privacy, the lack of blinds still feels like it lacks privacy. But maybe I just like my blinds/curtains! The bedroom has blinds, I had to ease it down by holding close to the base of the string. there’s a small window on top of that that is uncovered, but the balcony/room above it acts as a nice cover.
Because there is no AC the windows need to be open with fans blowing (of course we were there when it was 95 degrees during the day!) but night time nose is very minimal besides the occational seagull and morning trash truck and your tower fan blowing. The building shape offers a nice buffer against any street nose and no playing allowed in the courtyard which made for essentially no nose during the day as well. The ceiling and tower fan in the bedroom is nice as well.
We parked in the parking structure that melody recommended and it was perfect for short term parking (48 hours). Many people going on cruises park there as well.
Having a gym and pool is an added bonus too! Overall I totally recommend staying here!!
