As I walked in the smell of bug spray and mildew hit me.
The bathroom and closet where the beach items and extra bedding are kept smelled like mildew the whole time. After it rained, the bedroom also had a waft of mildew.
There's a lack of regular maintenance - the air conditioner / heater filter and area had not been cleaned and we're covered in everything that gets sucked into that area. The same goes for the vent fan in the bathroom - it obviously hadn't been cleaned in a while as it had a solid layer of dust/dirt all over the vent.
It's too small for people who aren't lovers or the best of friends. Photos make it look spacious but it isn't.
The bedroom is not well laid out, most of the available space is on the far side of the wall and the bed has to be crawled over to get to your suitcase.
To use the sofa bed the rest of the living room furniture has to be moved to the dining area and the table has to be shoved into the corner to leave a path to get to the bathroom.
There is one extra mattress that can go on the sofa bed. The bed in the bedroom nook is soft enough it feels like a feather bed; it was cozy but had limited support and it felt like my feet were higher than my head.
On the plus side, only two blocks to walk to the beach and one block to walk to the bay. Kitchen amenities were good. Bedding and towels were fresh and not stinky with scented laundry detergent or dryer sheets.
Free parking requires moving the car every two hours from 10 am to 8 pm. I was there at Christmas and finding parking was mostly easy but I can't imagine trying to find an available free parking space in the summer. This would be better suited to people who don't have cars, or who can afford $5 an hour to park at the pay parking. There are about four spaces that are $10 a day a block or so away.
I have a sensitive nose and you may never notice the things I did, but then again you may.
