As an Airbnb host myself, I can tell you that Alex goes LEVELS above what a normal host does. He checks you in and goes over every special feature of the studio, which is perfectly located about two blocks from the beach. It's close enough to tourist-oriented restaurants and locals establishments, that you get a feel for both, which can also save you money!

There's also a doorman at all times so that you'll feel secure. As for the design of the place, if I had any design chops, I would make these changes to my own house. Very cool and comfortable.
