Superb! Everything was so wonderful! The bed and pillows were comfortable the kitchen was well equipped. The balcony is fantastic and the view is stunning. We used the pool, sauna and gym. The Dundee restaurant attached to the building has delicious food. Any questions we had were answered within minutes. We really can't say enough good things about this place and are sad to be leaving.

Perfect location right on the wharf and close to grocery stores, ferries and restaurants on the Esplanade. I was greeted in person at the lobby and given a quick tour of the amenities, which I appreciated. Communication with the host was quick and easy. The apartment was just the right size for a week's stay. The kitchen was well equipped for a quick meal. Highly recommend!
