I've been wanting to write a review about this gorgeous hotel for a long time. I was impressed. Just amazing. The work that the owners of the hotel have done is incredible. In every detail of the interior, in every little piece, the care of the guests was noticeable. Thoughtfulness in everything. The refrigerator, flowers, fruits, slippers, jars of treats and all sorts of small things – everything indicated that the hotel owners had not just filled the room with some kind of staff, but thought over different scenarios of staying in the hotel and adjusted to them. And it is also visible and felt in literally everything that the owners are not greedy – everything is done with soul and high quality. It's impossible to describe everything – it was just everywhere. I noticed and appreciated every detail. It was very pleasant. And of course, the view from the room is just wonderful.

    Almost perfect. Nice, modern apartment with everything you need for a short stay. The property host Xolisa was 5 stars. He went above and beyond to cater for any need we had and was always very prompt in finding a solution. It is very well located, with shops, restaurants and gyms all around 5 minutes away. Great experience!

    So much to like about this property, the host goes above & beyond to ensure a immaculate stay ahead sealed with comfort for her guests. The layout, amenities, cleanliness we were spoiled for choice even with some treats,bottled water, milk etc. & even yogurts for my little one (absolutely appreciate the efforts & spoils by this amazing friendly host.) The safety, peaceful area, gated safe parking & so much more good to add. This Hidden Gem gets a definite 5 stars from me.

    Simply sensational. Our penthouse had the most unimaginable views of the the VA Waterfront and ocean. The suite itself had everything we could ever think to ask for and the Netflix and fast Wi-Fi were great. The hotels location is also incredible with dozens of eateries, coffee shops, convenience stores all with in 2 minutes walking distance. Great gym in the building as well (extra cost) as well as convenient grocery store on the ground floor and a lovely coffee shop as well. Luxury 5 star accommodation the way it should be done.
