The bad:
1. This place is SMALL. Very tight for anyone, especially two. You won’t want to spend much time in here.
2. No microwave
3. AC was not working properly. It would not get colder than a certain temp no matter what the setting was. Even at night when heat wasn’t a factor. I noticed a Wi-Fi connection feature which makes me think there’s some way of keeping it from going below a certain temperature. Probably to save money. I could hear when the AC would switch to the fan well above the temperature it was set at. This was super frustrating since I’m a hot sleeper. The temperature is tolerable when awake but the bed didn’t help at all.
4. The bed is really cheap and felt like I was sleeping on a futon mattress. I woke up several times sweating. If you’re a hot sleeper, I would avoid this place.
5. It’s very noisy. This place is connected directly to the elevator which you can hear literally every 5 seconds as people are going up and down. It sounds like someone is turning a vacuum on and off. The AC masks a lot of it but it’s quite annoying.
6. The plumbing was shut off for a brief time one the days we were there without any direct communication from the host. It was apparently posted on elevator but I was not looking at the elevator for any type of communication like this. I would expect nothing less than direct communication from the host for an issue like this. I’m sure this would’ve been negligible for most people, but I somehow found myself using the bathroom when I found this out…
The good:
1. The location is fantastic. A block from the beach in the middle of everything.
2. Shannon was very responsive and had great recommendations.
3. Despite its flaws the place was overall pretty good and has decent value. However, I would not stay here again due to the reasons stated above.
