Overall very clean and well appointed condo. Smooth check in process and good communication. Very convenient location to activities, hiking, shopping, bars and restaurants. Only downside was proximity to major road (a little loud on patio) and the view was only seen when standing. If you sat down on patio you were staring at concrete wall. Overall, I would stay here again.
