JOHN K. - 4/5 RATING

"Awkwardly between moving, and the virus disrupting tenants vacating, I found this property almost by accident. But what a find; location is central, and an easy walk to shopping and the lake, and room rates for an executive apartment are very reasonable. My apartment is a one bedroom, fully equipped ground floor option. Wifi is free, there is a restaurant currently catering via a take-away/room service facility, and it is a delightfully quiet location."
