I will start by sharing the positives of this location. This home is in a great location! It is about 2 blocks to the bay and in the opposite direction about 3 blocks to the beach. There is a peek-a-boo view of the bay from the balcony. Lots to see and do within walking distance. This home was comfortable for 6 adults.
- My family and I felt there could have been a little more effort with their cleaning practices, especially during this time of COVID. Their effort did not fit a 5-star experience. The home looks nice at first glance but as you start experiencing the space, you notice the lack of detailed cleaning.
- I have read other reviews about the struggles with parking. There is a small garage to park your car and it is located in a narrow alley way. It was a bit of a challenge to get the minivan we rented in the garage, especially at night (no street lights). You are maneuvering around parked cars and garbage cans. I suggest not using a full-size SUV or a minivan, if you can help it. The garage is not a proper space for a large vehicle. I had asked Gabe about the van before our visit and he shared it should fit.....yes it fit, but not really. When I shared my frustration with Gabe, he chose not to respond.
- Unfortunately, we did not receive a timely response from Gabe. His messages seemed auto generated and not sincere.
- The patio space is shown as private and that is no longer the case. Updated pictures should be posted.
- The bed on the main level was very firm and was not comfortable. My wife and I slept on the couches. Other beds in the home seemed ok.
I would like to end on a positive note. We really did enjoy ourselves. The location was beautiful and we appreciated the space Gabe's home offered. We just felt there were things that could be improved for a 5-star experience.
