10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Sep 2025
We loved our stay at this property. The apartment is spacious and has everything you might need. We especially liked the spectacular views and spent a lot of time on the many decks. We would definitely stay there again!
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Sep 2025
It was a great location and condo. Beautiful views of the city. Clean. Check in easy. Doormen/women were extremely helpful. Only downsides were 1) the pool was incredibly busy with adults standing around. No real room for my kids to swim so we never did. 2) the elevators- 3 were broken while we were there so it was pretty much always a long line
6.0 / 10.0Average·Sep 2023
The location of this property and views were outstanding. WiFi did not work the majority of our visit. HOWEVER-- the big issue was the $650 charge (note this is the most that is allowed to be charged) for 'damages' to the property. Some of the 'damages' ranged from ridiculous (a picture of the inside of the trashcan lid with some food on it), to breakage of a glass (which I had immediately reported via text to the owner when it occurred), to those we know we did not do (damage to a comforter inside a duvet cover), and some pictures that were sent of 'damage' that we could not even identify an issue with. Plan to tack on an extra few hundred dollars to the posted price even if you do everything you can to take care of the property (I have never received a negative review on our many, many stays in VRBO properties). Would NOT recommend staying in any of this owner's properties.
