8/10 Good
"Condo was a great size. Separate bedroom. A few things needed attention; kitchen faucet was in bad shape. Door handle came off to outside deck, but was quickly replaced. Quite a few restaurants and stores were closed, but this is not the busy season. A lot of construction going on, again getting ready for the winter season"
