Beautiful Condo but second bedroom far too small

The condo and property were beautiful, but the second bedroom was not suitable for our adult daughter. The twin bed was very squeaky, and there was barely any room to walk around when my daughter had her suitcase open. The worst part of the second bedroom was that it has sliding barn doors with a one-inch gap between the door and the wall, so my daughter could hear all the noise from the kitchen/living area when she was trying to sleep. This room would be fine for a small child, but I would not recommend it for an adult. Otherwise, the apartment was beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, and incredibly well-stocked. We loved the convenient location and the Strand property. The best feature was the balcony and the stunning views of the water and water birds -- especially the pelicans, which repeatedly dove down into the water to catch fish. My husband and I would stay here again, but we would not stay here as a family.
