This review is for the bedroom in Kenia's apartment where she is living also. It's a nice spacious room, good location if you want to be not too far from beach and have quiet neighborhood. Great groceries near by. Main active street is a close walk. Quiet neighbors. Pool and hot tub are nice to have. Small gym and common areas that I didn't really use.
The walls are very thin. Things are a bit worn in the apartment and the desk chair kept sinking so I had to readjust as I'd sit in it. Communication with the host felt off at times with some passive aggression. Kenia turned the living room into her bedroom so the only way to get to the balcony is to go through it, which she closed off access to me even though in the beginning she said it's fine to use the balcony any time she wasn't sleeping. I was uncomfortable with coming back to my room to find things moved or missing without any communication about it before or after, like the laundry card that I had just taken the day before and had not yet had the chance to use. Kenia did not respond well when I asked her to notify me if she needs something from the room I am paying for. I felt like I had no privacy. Construction in the building created other issues that could have been handled better, like meeting me at her other Airbnb place that I had to relocate to within 10 min like she said rather than 40min later so I wouldn't need to sit outside in the cold waiting for her because the address she gave was wrong and I couldn't find the actual door to the place where I was staying. Relocating was a frustrating way to lose time in itself but I kept a good attitude about it. The fact that she acted like she didn't know about all this construction just a week before it happened seems odd since complexes always give notice months in advance. I sensed some mind games.
So there's good stuff about staying here and not-so-good stuff.
I did appreciate the flexible checkout she gave me and Kenia was mostly noise considerate with the exception of the volume of the TV in her room that would radiate through the thin walls. Kenia was cool with having. My friend visited me for a weekend and provided bedding for her, so that is appreciated but also the right thing to do since this is more of a roommate situation than a classic host/guest Airbnb situation-- except my rent is more than half.

Overall the stay was fine but for a month-long stay the hiccups build up. This is just a full account of my experience.
