Liked: Amenities
The location was great, friendly at check in, nice to have a two bdrm, and there were nice touches with the towels, but the apartment was super perfumed, fortunately there were fans provided which helped a little, but the perfume was pretty strong and persisted through the night. There was mold in the bathroom. The refrigerator is a small hotel unit that did not freeze our ice packs.
