Pros:
Location - 5 min walk to beach and 10 minute walk to Newport Ave. The location is great.
Cleanliness - Sparkling clean
Nice courtyard - Relaxing and well maintained
Cons:
Lack of A/C and just how hot the unit can get because of poor airflow:
There was a 15-20 degree difference between outside and inside temp. If the outside temp is 65 in the evening, expect an inside temp of about 80-85. Stay away during the day, even on a beautiful typical SD afternoon with highs averaging in the mid 70s.
Communication:
I reached out to the host to let him know one of the two tabletop fans did not work. He requested a picture of the broken fan and said there was nothing he could do about the weather. I sent him a picture and let him know we've tried in multiple outlets with no luck. He never replied back.
Summary:
You get what you pay for. This could be a great place to stay if the ventilation issues were resolved. A combo of larger or commercial grade fans, a screen door and/or small window a/c units would do wonders.
