Pros:

We were in a corner Apartment on the 8th floor and had stunning views out to Cotton Tree as well as a wonderful vantage point for when storms came through. So beautiful, so relaxing. The managers were amazing, chocolates in every room, and so helpful. Everything we needed to cook for Christmas Day and the location is great- close to everything you could want or need. We will be back - oh, and such a wonderful vantage point to view the range of birds in the area. Even an Eagle (?) That came and sunned itself on our balcony!!

Cons:

Nothing
