This apartment is in a nice location 6 blocks from the boardwalk, close to shops and restaurants as everyone else has said. For us, there were pros and cons to our stay.
Pros:
- Location
- The top floor apartment is nice, no noise (except for from the alley it backs up to which didn't bother us)
- The furniture is beautiful
- Everything was clean and felt safe
Cons:
- The amenities are lacking. The kitchen is barely stocked- no measuring cups, very limited pots and pans, etc. So cooking anything outside of warming up food in the microwave was difficult
- We found Alex to not be as helpful and accommodating as we're used to with other Airbnb hosts. For example, we inquired about the beach towels, blanket, etc. that were listed in the amenities and after some back and forth, we eventually received a BS answer about how they weren't supposed to be in the listing and it was Airbnb's fault. No offer to remedy the situation.
- The confirmation email we received upon booking had a different physical address given than the actual apartment. So we had done all of our area research based on that address given and initially drove to the wrong place. Had to reload everything up and go to a different address he gave in a message.
-There is only one set of keys so if you are sharing the space, it's hard for some to come and go at different times as you can't get into the building or use the elevator without the keys.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay but would not choose this listing again if we were booking in the same area.
