Fantastic Stay!

friendly stafffree parkinggreat locationsmall towels
The staff was super friendly. I really liked that they explained everything clearly when I arrived. Parking was easy, plenty of free on-street spots were available with permits provided by the house. The location is awesome (close to the beach!), nearby parks, and Albert Road offering great dinner options.
The towels were small. I think a bigger size would be much better!
