While this is listed as a “luxury” property, we had a very different impression. Upon considering other condos in the building, we were convinced that this was definitely the one for us and paid a bit more for the “luxury” experience as described in direct communication from the host: “This suite is more for suited for the luxury clientele. It’s that nice.”
We own a condo rental as well that we don’t denote as luxury, but is far superior to this one.
We booked this condo for 7 days.
This property photographs really well. And many of the finishes are definitely upgraded.
Here are the things we loved:
1- The bathrooms
2- the patio (minus the furniture)
3- the views
Here are the issues:
1 - furnishings were to be desired. The majority of the furniture was not as photographed. A lot of ikea and ikea-type furniture. Far from luxury. The master bedroom mattress sags in the middle.
2 - we each were given one bath towel and hand towel per guest. Poor quality. No pool towels provided.
3 - bed linens were dingy and had stains.
4 - only one dish towel provided
5 - kitchen amenities were sparse. No full silverware set. No teaspoons. Hodgepodge of older knifes and utensils.
6 - SEVERAL personal effects throughout the condo including: toothbrushes, personal razors, toiletries (used deodorant), a laptop, files, food, etc.
7 - no condo guide book with instructions on appliances. The appliances, while nice, were difficult to understand and use.
8 - the property is a high use condo. Lots of marks and dings on the walls. Broken cabinet doors.
9- no cleaning supplies provided. Kitchen sprays, windex, etc. We like to keep our place tidy and assumed cleaning supplies would be provided.
10 - refrigerator was not cleaned. Leftover meat was in the refrigerator along with many crumbs.
11 - no microwave
12 - the patio furniture was very dingy and not clean.
