    Great place to stay

    We stayed here while dropping our son off at college. It was great to have space to hang out, do laundry in the apartment and plenty of space to store all of his stuff from IKEA, Costco and Target in addition to the luggage. The people who work there are also helpful and friendly.

    Great service!

    Wister (at reception) was amazing!! He went out of his way to help us arrange a room after we made a mistake with the booking. Thanks to him we were able to enjoy a beautiful sunset from our room with the whole family. Thanks Wister :)))

    Exceptional!

    We desperately wanted to live here, but there weren't any 2 bd available; however Carla the property manager did everything possible to find a way for us to make it work, and we are now so happy living here. Great views, most accommodating staff, great location, and amazing amenities. Love it here!
