There are a few really great things about Lauren’s place:
1) The location is fantastic
2) The view is great
3) The price is reasonable
4) And Lauren is a terrific, communicative host
We had several concerns:
1) The images do not match the actual rooms (viewed several during our stay). Different furniture. Different drapes. No table. Different decorating. And everything is in worse condition than pictured. General disrepair
2) Their is no A/C. So you need to have windows open (hot days/nights). However, there are a ton of homeless around this area. During a four night stay, a homeless person shouted profanities all night long two of the four nights
3) Bedding and towels were clean. But nothing matched. And several of the towels were well used (trimmed shorter... perhaps to remove frayed edges)
4) Small things are missing. Two light bulbs were gone from lamps in an already dark room. And our room was missing the smoke/fire detector
5) No WiFi. On weekends when the beaches and restaurants are crowded, you end up with poor cell performance... and you don’t have Wi-Fi to help out
