I stayed here with my boyfriend for our first trip to California and we were very pleased! I messaged Emanuelle shortly before we landed at noon asking if we could come early, or at least drop off our bags, and I received an answer very quickly letting us know we could of course check in early if the apartment was done being cleaned by the time we arrived, which it was!
The things we liked:
-The host was kind and friendly
-The bed was very comfortable
-Washer & dryer very useful
-Coffee filters and other useful pantry items were available to use (sugar, powdered coffee creamer, syrup I think, etc.)
-Grocery store at the corner
-Bathing towels and beach towels were provided
-Hangers in the closet
-Very easy to find Bird scooters around the corner on the main road
-Cheap uber ride to the pier (about $5)
Things we did not like:
-Tv was hard to turn on but once we figured it out that was fine!
-When leaving, it said to put garbage in the "carport" but there was no carport (that we know of) and we did not see garbage cans anywhere.
-There was an odd smell on the second day - I did not mind the smell but my boyfriend swore it smelled of throw up. No other reviews mention the smell, and it was not smelly when we arrived. I believe it was from the used coffee grinds we had been putting in the trash bin in the kitchen.
Overall WE LOVED IT! and we would definitely stay here again :)
