A bit of a rough experience
First and foremost, the location is fantastic. Super easy to walk to the Village.
Ron, property owner, was extremely responsive and gracious. Unfortunately, our check in process was awful -- as I did not receive the message with keycode. VRBO instructions said to go to property management office before 6 pm. Which we did and it was closed. Called and the guy yelled at me. Fortunately, I had Ron's number and he provided the code but it was a rough start.
Secondly, the walls are paper thin. First night, we had neighbors screaming expletives at each other at 11 pm. By midnight, I had to go knock on their door. Not something anyone ever wants to do. The next night, other neighbors were extremely loud late partying. I barely slept while there.
Lastly, the heater is an issue. It was an icebox downstairs and a sauna upstairs. To the point where I had to sleep with the window open (and there is road noise from Lake Mary). I contacted Ron and he advised about the pellet heart but it barely emitted any heat. It wasn't a comfortable stay in that regard.
These are not the types of reviews I like to submit. It makes me sad to do so particularly as the property owner was very gracious. However, the heater situation alone (which is something that needs to be addressed) made the stay less than comfortable. And people need to know that the walls are extraordinarily thin so if you are a light sleeper, this is not the place for you.
As FYI, there are a LOT of stairs to get to this unit. About three floors worth. Which was not an issue for us but something to consider.
