The good, the bad and the general.
1.Good: close to everything walking and driving. Apartment was comfortable. Beds were really comfy. Kitchen was stocked and so were the bathrooms. Lots of options to watch TV. Nicely decorated and overall a good place to stay in the area. Also Will was easy to communicate with and very quick to reply.
2. Bad: The door code provided prior to check in didn't work. Had to message Will for assistance . The place was not cleaned when we arrived on time. We had to message Will and he stated that his cleaner never showed. Which he knew before we arrived and could have let us know. He did arrange for someone to come and clean and do the linens but it was several hours wait.The unit is on the 2nd floor, which wasn't in the listing. The stairs are steep and somewhat slippery (made of tile) and when you're bringing up all your stuff it was a bit of a challenge. The air conditioning is not central air. It's 2 portable units in each of the bedrooms. One of our units wasn't working when we got there and Will did replace it but it was 2 days later. When running, the rooms were nice and cool. There is no a/c in the living room or kitchen and in the summer it gets warm during the day. At night we did open the windows and run the ceiling fan. The front door has a weird screen door that works but not well. The neighbors are CLOSE and can be very loud and they smoke a lot of Marijuana. There is no place to rinse off sand and no beach items to borrow. Parking is pretty crazy. There is no designated space for this unit. There is no designated spots for this complex. ALL parking is first come first served. There is a small lot close to the building but the spots fill up during prime season and they're tight. The big lot isn't far but it's also first come first served. And because overnight parking is allowed, people also sleep in their cars. And there were ants in one bedroom, the kitchen and the living room.
General: I would stay here again. Now that I know the actual ins and outs it was good. I don't love the stairs but they're doable. Will was very responsive and even refunded me one night for all our issues. Which I very much appreciated. I go to Mission Beach all the time and absolutely love the area. This place is close to it all.
