The good:
-The sunset/ocean view is great, just don’t look down or you’ll be looking at a cemetery.
-The bed is king size.
-The location is great.
-Mostly quiet.
-AC (took a while to cool the place off and it ran almost constantly when it was turned on, but it did the job)
The bad:
-full trash can from previous people was left under sink
-Bed skirt thing around bed covered in dust/grime, just very old and not clean looking
-in general, not very clean
-cigarette smoke from neighboring apartments so we couldn’t really leave doors and windows open.
-this is a big apartment complex with some vacation rentals mixed in. Not exactly a luxury resort.
-2 bath towels total and 1 beach towel. We bought 2 more and left them for next people.
-king bed was harder than taking calculus and organic chemistry in the same semester. After the first night we actually bought a mattress topper from Walmart for our stay.
-the balcony is nice...until you actually go out there and there’s a huge AC unit at eye level blaring in your ear
-door locking mechanism jankey, we tried a few different things but we had to lock the door from the inside then slam it shut or it wouldn’t close and lock.
-have to use a key to call the elevator, the key works if you wiggle it the right way.
From the pictures this seemed like a nice upscale place to stay. However, this is definitely an (overpriced) low budget vacation rental. It’s definitely not a bad place to stay, but the vibe was low income housing mixed with budget vacation rentals. The view and location are pretty superb, everything else was lacking though. If you’re looking for something more upscale or unique, this ain’t it. If you’re looking for a budget studio apartment with a good sunset view and close to the downtown strip, this would be a good choice, If the price was right.
I’ve been using Airbnb for like 6-7 years and this is the first review I’ve ever left that wasn’t 100% positive.
