Have you enjoyed your recent stay at BWV?

Who has stayed at the BWV lately? I'm wondering if the villas have been recently refurbished. How was housekeeping? What are your favorite locations for your room? Any other info or helpful hints would be great

We stayed in a one bedroom in August. It was really in need of refurbishing. The curtain rod in the living area was falling off the wall a bit making the curtains pool on the floor, a lamp was broken (never got replaced as requested), and the carpet was used looking. The carpets in all the hallways really needs to be replaced. The rest of the room and resort looked fine. The living area did have the new couch....which was very comfy per the kids.

We had a wonderful stay however and would love to go back.

As to room location....
We were placed on the 1st floor directly behind the elevators. I usually hate being by elevators, but you couldn't hear them at all. The room was a handicapped accessible room (not required by us) so had a different bathroom configuration than other rooms. It was extremely convenient, as we could walk out and be at the pool, the boardwalk, or take a quick ride of the elevator upstairs to the lobby or our car. I would really suggest asking to be placed close to the elevators....as there is only one bank of them for the whole building and some rooms are really far from them.

We stayed in a 1BR BV view in October and it had been refurbished. It was wonderful. DS says the new style sleeper sofas are really comfy!

I was at BWV in early August...fifth floor one bedroom, over the Crest of the Wave area. It was terrific. Housekeeping was good, there were some issues (lightbulbs missing, ceiling fan out of order) but maintainence got there quickly and took care of everything.
I was in a studio a week or so ago...again, fifth floor, overlooking the pool area. It was a strangely shaped studio, because it was on a curve of the building, so it was much larger than other studios I have been in. But, the armoire was badly in need of replacement. The doors in front of the television were broken, the drawers stuck badly. I did let them know before I checked out, but don't know if it will be addressed. Housekeeping was out of this world. Since I was staying on my DVC points, I was entitled to a 'trash and towel' day, mid-stay. I arrived on a Thursday and was scheduled for TandT on Sun or Mon. But, when I returned to my room on Friday, new towels, toiletries were left for me. Again, on Sunday, I got back to find fresh towels and shampoo/cond/soaps and dish detergent! On Tuesday, I arrived back in my room midday, to find my bed made!!! I ususally make my own bed each day, but didn't that one day because I was leaving the next day. So, I just straightened it a bit. Housekeeping remade it for me, as well as toiletries left again. I was so surprised by this. Completely unexpected.

I have had rooms over the village green, over the Community Hall bldg, Luna Park pool, and on the boardwalk itself. Each view has had it's own charms. But, the one thing I do request, every time, is to be as high up as possible.
