When we arrived, the first thing that stood out was that this place is not actually on the street. It's in an alley. And the patio pictured does not have any kind of view - it's concrete walls on all four sides. It was also Saturday night. The apartment complex next door was having a rager that went until the rain ran everyone inside at about 1am. The windows for both bedrooms did not have shades to adequately block the light, either, and we had trouble with the shower water. It was so bad that the next morning we contacted several other Airbnb hosts about moving, forgoing the rest of our payment for the next three nights.
But my wife convinced me to give it another chance as we had arrived late and really wanted it for the location to everything we were going to see with the kids. And everything turned out pretty good. The house was centrally located for our family to see verything we wanted - two minutes from Sea World, two minutes to the beach, ten minutes to the zoo, etc, etc etc. The alley entrance kind of sucked, but it - nor the surroundings - were "dangerous." It's just younger people that were up on a Saturday night. They weren't loud after that first night.
The water issue with the shower had a fix - pull the knob out halfway, switch from tub to shower, then pull it out rest of the way, and make sure the water is coming out of the second shower head, not the first. Then it was like a perfect shower. As for the light, we took a couple of the extra towels provided and covered the windows, and that was that. Perfect.
