This place is five stars in many respects: perfect location, responsive host, reserved parking, clean when we arrived. But the thing that matters most to us - feeling comfortable in a setting that we were expecting based on the listing - wasn't quite what we were hoping for when we booked. Even though it was updated for the most part and the artwork all over the house was very cool, we noticed things like really short showers (not good for a tall guy like me), peeling paint on the ceilings, bathroom counters that were over-worn, towel hangers that were loose, and rugs & furniture with stains. While I realize some of these things are to be expected at a rental, at the price point we were paying, we were hoping for nicer overall.
Again, the location is amazing. We loved being steps from the beach and being able to walk to Belmont Park. And Jon was very responsive. I know that if we had needed anything during our stay, he would have quickly helped us.
