Perfect location and comfortable space!
Pros:

Exactly as pictured and described. Great location - I was able to walk anywhere I needed to go!

Cons:

The staff - had a very odd encounter with the female door staff upon arrival. She could definitely use some more experience in custom service and explaining things - she was just young, no personality and maybe not experienced enough in helping people. It was an odd interaction and her explanation of my questions about parking were just kind of absurd and ill informed.

Large, stylish apartment
Pros:

This apartment was very large and stylishly decorated, in a building that is quite stunning from the outside, and well located in the Old Port. The young woman at the front entrance was friendly and helpful. It was a lovely place to stay (the only exception being the broken hairdryer)!
