Pros:
-David is a good and helpful host. The check-in was smooth and easy, and he very helpfully arranged a car for us on the last day.
-The area is safe, and we always felt comfortable coming back late at night.
-The apartment is spacious and bright.
-The washing machine worked great and was a godsend to do laundry!
Cons:
-I did feel that this place needed a bit of TLC. The bathroom toilet seat was broken, the faucet dripped, the brass is rusty, and there are some other small scuffs and issues throughout the apartment. It could have been cleaner or better maintained.
-I would strongly not recommend this apartment to anyone who needs quiet to sleep. The restaurants are extremely lively from about noon to midnight, and after that, the sea gulls are VERY loud all night. I had trouble sleeping most nights here.
-Additionally, the AC worked…okay, especially in the bedroom. I know that American standards for AC are a bit ridiculous, but it was frustrating considering the fact that I’d booked this specifically for AC. It certainly worked, but there is very little ventilation in the bedroom.
Overall, this was a nice and safe unit, but I did feel it needed a bit more attention to detail to be 5 stars, and unfortunately nights here were both quite hot and loud.
