The host did not furnish us with the code to gain entrance to the apartment. The host was unavailable when we tried to contact him by phone and text. We sat on unpleasant metal steps outside the apartment for an hour and a half (it was a hot humid day) until finally the woman who cleans the apartment was able to be reached --by a neighbor I believe--and she sent the code. We were working with Airbnb Case Management and they could not reach the host either.
Neighbors told us that several of the apartments in this building are Airbnb and that the noise and parties are sometimes really wild and very noisy. Fortunately while we were there it was quiet.
The apartment was clean and the pictures of the apartment are accurate. It has no air conditioning or television, but that is clear in the listing. The apartment is close to the ocean and a bay. The location is fine; restaurants are several blocks away, but the walk along either body of water is very pleasant.
I would have given a good review for the property IF the host or cohost had been attentive to getting us into the apartment. But we had a very bad experience on a busy hot Labor Day weekend wondering where we were going to end up staying.
