Good amount of windows for fresh air and nice views on the balcony. The room was a bit smaller than I thought, but the price was a good deal and close to the main Plaza. Super comfortable pillows, I slept really well here!

This was a great place for Avalon, close enough to everything yet off the main drag for quiet in the evening. Nice porch and balcony with a quaint courtyard. Bathroom was small but everything worked well. Shower small but had good water pressure.
