The host was very friendly and responsive. Check in was a breeze with a provided code for entry. The location is a quick walk to the beach and there are restaurants, bars and coffee shops within walking distance.
The property, however, is in desperate need of basic maintenance and updates. The roof top deck is unusable with rotting wood around the perimeter and moldy furniture. There was peeling paint in many of the rooms. The appliances in the kitchen were unclean and ill-maintained (the microwave was even missing a piece). The electricity was faulty with outlets sparking, lights flickering and power outages.
The listing did not describe the 3rd bedroom being in the lower level requiring a pass through to the garage. This room had a moldy odor typical of basement level rooms. The living room was roomy but not adequately furnished for a house of this size providing only two small love seats. Bringing your own linens would be recommended. We had to go buy bath towels as the ones provided were old and smelly.
This was our first experience with Airbnb. I'm not sure I'll risk it again.
