I was very unhappy with my stay in Apt A. Yes this house is really 3 apartments with no front door entry. All access is through a back alley which all has a passage front from of property to the back alley. We had homeless people passing through this side passage that we’re looking into our bedroom window which needed to remain open or we would not be able to sleep as there is no air conditioning like we knew however, we did not realize that the place could not cool down below 80 degrees in October. I do not want to imagine what it would be like during the summer months. The unit is unable to cool with fans as it is surrounded on all sides by walls 3 feet away or large bushes in the front that prevent air flow into the unit. Also the unit is literally sharing a common wall with an Italian restaurant and the smell of food in the kitchen can be smelt when opening the window to the smaller bedroom. The dumpster in the back of the restaurant drew tons of flies to our unit. They would manage to get in when we opened the door every time. I would have left the first night except I did not want to ruin my daughter’s fall break and there were no places available at that last minute.
The place was immaculate inside and had a beautiful large kitchen, the fireplace in the ad did not represent the non functioning fireplace as the gas line was plumbed shut. On our visit it did not matter as it already felt hot like he’ll all the time. The location is fantastic for surfer enthusiasts as the beach is a short five minute walk away. Something needs to be done to ensure privacy to the main bedroom as everyone walking by cutting through the property looks in the window.
This place would be a true gem if the leasing company place a portable AC unit in each bedroom and installed locks on the front and rear gates to keep out all the people from cutting through the property that look into the bedroom window. If the AC units were installed, one would not have to open the windows either. Hopefully, the leasing company will take note of this and remedy the situation and the place will be nice.
