The good:
—Location is excellent, a minute walk from a largely residential / less trafficked Lighthouse beach. Also close to Venice shops / restaurants.
—Steven was communicative and quickly / earnestly addressed issues that came up during the stay.
The bad:
—The cleanliness: we found hair, sand, and used contact lenses around the unit upon our arrival. Steven called for a cleaning crew a few days in and the issue was largely resolved.
—The space: while there is decent space / seating area, the common room is a little smaller than depicted in the photos. It does the job, but is by no means luxurious.
—The amenities are old: the sofa, pots/pans, towels, etc are on the older side, bordering on rundown. Unless replaced, I’d recommend bringing your own bathroom and kitchen items.
—The kitchen is small: no dishwasher, a small two-burner stove, and a tiny sink with no garbage disposal makes cooking very challenging.
—The neighbors are loud: the upstairs couple would stomp around (no exaggeration) day and night. I’m a deep sleeper but woke up between 12 and 6am twice a week from their loud footsteps, etc. They also never wore masks in common areas.
—Being on the ground floor, you’ll see a number of bugs and spiders inside.
All-in, I would still recommend the place if you just need a basic landing spot near the beach.
