Loved being in Building 50, all you had to do was wander downstairs to shop, or eat, or get your exercise minutes in for the day. I love old historic buildings and this one is top notch. Condo was wonderfully clean, quiet, and perfect for two couples away for a long winter weekend.

Very well-appointed kitchen and bathrooms, exceptionally clean, conveniently located near adorable shops, restaurants, wineries, and breweries. Management was super responsive and easy to work with to make our stay perfect. The spooky historical vibe was fun as well! The spiral staircase to get to each floor was fun for our girls weekend and we were able to view gorgeous sunrises out the windows, overlooking the historical spires.
