The apartment was well-located in a residential neighborhood by the ocean. The area had quaint restaurants within walking distance. We had trouble entering the flat at first as there were contradictory directions between the confirming email and house manual and also it was not clear in all the communications that we had to enter the garage to enter our unit. It was frustrating not to be able to settle in right away. I spoke with Dan about this who said he would correct and clarify the directions for future guests and that there was a change in management between my booking and my arrival that accounted for the discrepancies.
The flat itself was clean. The beds were comfortable. There was noise early in the mornings from the upstairs apartment which didn't bother us because of our jet lag but they certainly did not adhere to the "quiet hours." Overall, the place was fine but it wasn't special. I've stayed at several other Airbnb's which have had a more personal touch like a note or goodies in the fridge. And I've always had the opportunity to meet my hosts. It was fine not to on this trip, but this was not a usual Airbnb experience for me. I also mentioned these things to Dan who said he'd make changes for future guests.
