    Location, location, location. Clean, quiet, pleasant management, helpful notebook with local info - services - restaurants. Did not need AC, but it was only in the master bedroom.

    Directions:
    A picture of the outside of the building would be helpful. The map from Rent Villa's was superb and the "Notes for the Traveler" was also helpful.
