It is a walk up 4 flights of stairs to reach the 3rd floor apartment, but the view out to the water is very nice for being so far away. The walk into town is about 25 minutes and much of it is on a busy road. We usually drove our car for that reason. The apartment is spacious, though several areas have a low ceiling because of the sloping roof. Lots of storage, good shower and bathroom facilities. Mattress for the bed was very soft and we ended up with bed bug bite marks the next day. I did notify Valentine, the property manager, and he said he would have it checked out. I have not heard anything since. Response for any issues (ie, how to work the TV) from Valentine could sometimes take a day, but there was always a response.
