    5 / 5
    What a lovely efficiency unit -clean, comfortable, quiet, convenient, well equipped with lots of storage space! Great restaurants in the area. We were there for a World Sailing Regatta which was cancelled because of the Corona virus. We only stayed 8 of our 18 days. We contacted the owner, Michael, ahead of time to indicate we had to get a flight back to Canada. Impossible for us to contact Hotels.com. Michael contacted them and very generously reimbursed them for our 10 unused nights. We are anxiously awaiting our refund from Hotels.com. We have been home for 11 days and still can’t get through to Hotels.com…
