Nice unit in a large building, on the top floor. The windows are well insulated from road noise (which would otherwise be loud), so the unit is quiet day and night. You likely won't use the balcony for this reason. AC works but with only a single unit downstairs, the loft area does get warm in the afternoon and evening. Running the fans helps, but it's too much area for a single AC unit to fully keep cool. So long as temperatures stay below 80 degrees, this probably won't be an issue for anyone. The AC is also noisy when its running. But AC is not very common in Tahoe rental apartments, so I don't consider this a drawback -- it's still a benefit, just with some limits. The kitchen is reasonably equipped for snacks and small meals. Don't expect to cook a feast for a large group. Plenty of parking available, both underground and above ground, though you need a parking pass (1 comes with the rental). Overall, the unit met our expectations and we had a comfortable stay.
