"The apartment was so cozy and decorated beautifully. There were small touches everywhere like plenty of trash bags, good toiletries, throw blankets. Parking was alright and the location was close to everything we were trying to do (mostly river activities). This was an excellent stay."

Elevated Contemporary 2BR 2BA with Balcony

8/10 Good

"The condo is easy to get to a few blocks off I35. Close to many restaurants, Starbucks, Sam’s Club, etc. The unit was very clean, well appointed, and tvs in each room. Great space with a wash and dryer. The on-site manager was very helpful and quick to respond. The only thing that wasn’t great and it isn’t the fault of this owner - we looked forward to the pool since we didn’t go on our river float but the pool was VERY dirty and the trash was overflowing throughout the complex. Was the trash company on strike? Of course it didn’t affect the condo but we really were looking forward to the pool especially since it was an amenity we should have been able to enjoy."
