First off, this is our first Airbnb experience, which we now realize is probably not for us. We assumed this would be similar to staying in a hotel, which it wasn't.
Pro's:
Amazing view right in front of the beach.
Plenty of room for our family of 7.
Quite clean overall.
Having a kitchen was very convenient.
Walking distance to restaurants/bars.
Cons:
The biggest issue is the location. There are so many homeless people on the beach, the boardwalk, the benches, etc. The public bathrooms are unusable for a family.
The building overall is very old.
The elevator system is old, and can only be accessed with a key fob which you only get a few of at check-in.
The balconies are not really balconies. They are only about 1' deep, and cannot be accessed due to safety concerns from the property about the railings. The screen doors are rusted and must be forced to close.
One elevator is shut down after 11:00 p.m.
The comforter/decorative bedding is not washed between guests. We were told it is washed about once a month.
Not enough pillows (1 per person).
One toilet did not work properly, even after maintenance tried to fix it.
Mold in the showers.
The pool is actually not in the building, it is up the street. There are no pool towels provided.
The rooftop deck is comprised of a half dozen chairs, 2 barbecues and a lot of rooftop mechanical equipment.
At check-out, pull your vehicles out of the garage/overflow parking before turning in your key fobs, or you will not be able to access them.
