This apartment is super charming and the location in San Pedro is perfect. Beautiful ocean view in a very old Spanish style building with all the pretty, quirky features. Easy parking, walking distance to market and food is delicious at the diner across the street.
The reason I give 4 stars is because the tv wasn't working, more specifically the netcast. The home manual doesn't say anything about how there isn't cable, but there are movies and Netflix. I told the host immediately the next morning after our first night that netcast would turn on, then the tv would turn off. She was responsive, but a solution wasn't offered, so that was a bit of a bummer as we normally like to fall asleep with the tv on.
I've stayed at many Airbnb's that were private homes or apartments, and I've never experienced the host or cleaning lady or neighbor coming in without knocking while the door is locked. Right after we arrived (past the checking time) a neighbor came in without knocking. She apologized, and had packages that were not for us- not sure why she didn't check with the host or what that was about, but our trip started off with the feeling that anyone could just come in when they please.
The next day a big package was delivered and left inside the unit when we weren't there. Again, just an uneasy feeling that someone came in when we were staying there to drop off something that was actually for the guests staying the next day.
I expressed all of this to the host, but was told that the unit is run like a hotel. I feel more secure in a hotel, and at least I could put up a do not disturb sign. Not to mention, a hotel would never just leave a box that is for different guests in a room- they usually call if a package arrives.
I would have given this 5 stars based on the location, view, comfortable bed, etc. this place has everything else going for it!
