“These townhouse-style apartments provide a home-like environment with full kitchens and separate living spaces, well-suited for families or longer stays, even though the location requires a bit of a walk to the central area. The tropical-themed pool is a definite plus, heated during the winter, while practical amenities such as complimentary bikes and laundry add convenience. In my opinion, this property is a solid choice for those prioritizing space and self-sufficiency.”
