We thoroughly enjoyed our space on Mount Helix! It was comfortable and clean and very cute and it is nestled into an outdoor area that was equally beautiful with great views of Mount helix and a complete assortment of different fruit trees all around the property Our host Cindy was very available for any questions that we might have and we appreciate her attention to detail in the design of the apartment but also and just wanting to make sure that we were comfortable and didn't need anything at all...If you are looking to do a great deal of cooking and food prep, the space in the kitchen is small but there are a variety of small appliances to do most all of the basics…but why bother? You are on vacation and there are so many amazing restaurants and bistros and breakfast nooks very close to the house!The sleeping spaces were comfortable, even the futon bed in the living room, when so many times they can be hit and miss in rentals…This place definitely deserves a return visit!! 5 St
