Maybe we have high standards, however I had the same issue as a previous guest with the musty smell in the hallways and apartment (but not as bad as common areas). Perhaps it was due to the lack of air conditioning in the building/unit and being so close to the beach, however a fan would have been appreciated as depending on the wind, lots of bugs can enter the apartment through the open windows. Overall the place was exactly as pictured, but the shower/bathroom did leave a lot of room to be desired. There was no holder for the shower head, so you had to maneuver with one hand. It was a fine apartment, just not great. I did appreciate all of the recommendations and the friendly staff who greeted us upon check in, but for two nights we would have been better off in a hotel for the price.
