I'll start with the bad to get it out of the way:
1) This place is exceptionally loud. I could hear every single word of the phone conversations next door, drawers closing in the unit behind me, footsteps, etc. It was like someone was in the room with me the entire stay. The neighbors behind the unit were not being rude or too loud; the place was simply not properly insulated. They woke me up several times and I'm not a light sleeper whatsoever.
2) The place doesn't have AC and felt like an oven when I walked in. I'm from the humid US southeast, so I managed, but the air cooling machine never got the room temp down to a comfortable temp, even after several days of running on high.
3) I walked out on morning #2 to the front porch smelling like urine. (Not the owner's fault and I understand that.)
4) The owner never responded to my messages. I just got pre-written texts that never addressed the actual content in my messages.
5) The street parking in front is 2-hr parking only and any other parking is expensive or impossible to find.
6) The code the owner gave me to take out the garbage didn't open the padlock on the dumpster. I had to find a way to dispose of the garbage or risk being fined.
7) There is no kitchen sink or dry rack for dishes. You have to use the bathroom sink, which is not made for food particles
8) Unless you're very thin, you're not fitting in the shower.
9) The fridge is really small.
Now for the good:
1) Great location, super close to the Wed farmer's market and the beach, across the street from a CVS
2) Door uses keyless entry, which is convenient
3) TV is large.
4) Lots of towels are provided.
