Pros : Lauren was a great host ! Very quick with responses and frequently checked up on us . The location is perfect as your are only a block away from the boardwalk and are very close to a lot of the action bars/restaurant. She gave us a list of recommendations that really helped when making choices to go out to eat .
Cons : although the location is near the beach .. we didn’t really feel the ocean “ breeze “ mentioned by Lauren . Very humid / could use better ventilation. Before booking I kindly asked if there was a fan available since there was no a/c listed and Lauren said she would get one for us . When we arrived there was a tiny fan placed by our bed with a HEAVY coat of dust all over it ... I thought this was a little inconsiderate and very unsanitary but I didn’t want to make a big deal about it and ended up just not using .
although this location is listed as “private studio” it really felt like we booked a private room in a home ... you are basically staying below the host so you constantly hear stomping , dark barking , people going up and down stairs , and occasionally people will walk past your window since there was another unit next to us. Seems like of of people occupy this building ...
