Davidson is a fantastic host - very responsive, friendly, and helpful.
The apartment is in an excellent location (very centrally-located and walkable to the beach, restaurants, and fitness centers) and has a nice view of the park and a bit of the beach.
The unit looks exactly like the photos: It has a fun modern feel and seems to have been renovated recently. I gather that Davidson is a bit of a craftsman and has DIY’d many of the elements of the unit, including much of the cabinetry and lighting. I think these things add to the charm of the apartment (but some guests may disagree).
Other notes:
- The unit shares a tiny entryway with a smaller unit that Davidson also owns. He stayed in that unit during my stay, but I think he also rents it out.
- The A/C worked well
- Extremely firm mattress (perfect for me)
- The building felt safe: 24-hour security at all entrances, but they also allow visitors.
- Overall, this unit is a fantastic deal for a young person or a young couple!
