I did like the apartment itself a lot.
The bed is super comfortable.
And it's really clean .
Living on PCH in CA I did not have a problem with the traffic noise itself however the construction noise was overwhelming.
Make sure to always to ask a LOT of questions up front especially if you book place for a whole month or longer. It's nothing worse than traveling halfway around the world for 3 weeks and being caught off guard by big surprises. Airbnb hosts are not obligated to disclose construction noise/ parties etc
Ask if there's somebody to greet you . You might want to ask about construction, heaters working etc. upfront. Just in general ask how appliances work or you might end up spending a lot of time on YouTube trying to figure things out, :)
After some research I found that booking a hotel might be more accommodating to my needs as well as... too my surprise... cheaper eventhough I did have a discount for booking a month.
Julie , the agent of the place was trying to be helpful/ flexible and accommodating .
She definitely tried her best.
Thank you Julie.
