Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that you and your wife had such a wonderful experience. It's always a pleasure to host guests who appreciate the space as much as we do. We truly are delighted that you have zero complaints. We would be more than happy to welcome you back for another stay in the future!
The only downside was the elevator. Unfortunately, spent a lot of time waiting in line for an elevator - both up and down.

We appreciate your feedback regarding the elevators. We understand that waiting for the elevator can be frustrating, and we acknowledge your concerns. This information is included in our listings to help keep our guests informed and to plan accordingly, as it is beyond our direct control. The building management has informed us that the elevator replacement is expected to be completed by June 2025, and we are hopeful for improved service once the upgrades are in place.
