Airbnb review
First it is really close to the beach, some amazing restaurants and the interior is clean. Besides the hair on the bathroom floor and the dirty dishes that I had to wash before I used. That’s it for this place.
First once we arrived, late at night, the garage light didn’t work and was only barely big enough to fit a Toyota Corolla sized car. I mean 1” on either side of the mirrors. That’s after you drive half way back down the block to get to the garage. The garage was nice in the sense you didn’t have to look for parking which is almost non existent in this area. You have to unlock a pad lock that is difficult to open in the dark. Once we got parked there were several drunk/high homeless people in the alley not a place I would allow my wife or children to be during the night.
This place is great for a crash pad and that’s it. Don’t expect a nice warm normal AirBnB welcoming place. Though it has been recent remodeled they missed the mark on a lot of little things during the remodel. Like a hanging privacy blind in the window where everyone walks past your window at night. Or not properly plumbing in the AC unit, so when it’s on it floods the floor in the living. We came back from being gone to Birkenstocks soaking in a puddle of water. I had to clean up the leaking water every time we turned on the AC. It was too hot to just leave it off. The owner sent a maintenance person who did nothing to fix the leak. Or the bedroom fan that randomly turns on and off which can make it difficult to sleep (probably because the other units have the same remote fan). Or the overly small toilet sized for a child. I can look past the other things like how it can possibly sleep four or the one fork in all the utensils drawer or even the broken wine bottle opener after all the stores are closed. But the one thing that pushed this stay beyond unacceptable to me was, after being on the beach and traveling around the area the day before there was no hot water for the shower. This was a very important event we were attending with 300+ people and my wife and I both were unable to take showers. After returning back from our event the AC still leaked all over the floor and the fan/light still randomly turned on but at least there was hot water.
Other considerations for staying here. The stove is a small apartment stove, one of the sleeping areas is in the same room as the master bedroom and the master bed is really really firm, which I tend sleep better on. In my honest opinion this place is not worth the money for its issues.
