The location was fantastic--a block from the beach, close to restaurants, yet in a very quiet neighborhood. We appreciated the value, the dedicated parking space, the abundance of windows, and the ease of check-in. The apartment has been partially updated, and has some nice, homey touches, with plenty of storage space for the size of the unit. There's even a laundry room in the building. The size and layout worked well for two of us. It would not accommodate more than that.
With all that, I could not give it a 5-star rating because of the lack of cleanliness. On the surface, it appeared clean. But the window coverings (mini blinds and curtains) were very dirty, the rug was stained, and the bathroom seems like a yet-to-be finished updating project.
Ed was easy to deal with, and we did not need to contact him once we arrived.
