The apartment really needed air conditioning to improve quality of sleep during period of warmer weather. The location was also noisy due to adjacent compressor operating at random times and road noise.

Perfect for our visit to family living nearby. Very clean snd comfortable room with plenty of useful space for bags and toiletries. Great shower! Was also surprisingly quiet for such a handy location with shops and restaurants an easy walk. Really appreciated the extra assistance of the host when needed.

One of my "things" about hotel and motel stays is shower pressure. It either makes or breaks your stay. Bella Vista showers are amazing!!
