The Good:
Great location close to the ocean. Loved that it was facing the mountains, as the unit is likely quieter as a result. Easy parking, nice staff. Unit itself is set up nicely. We love that it had a Vitamix in the kitchen that we could use to make smoothies. Spacious bathrooms.
The Bad:
Our room wasn't ready until almost an hour after the check-in time. When we finally got up to the room, everything looked great and we were excited to start enjoying the unit. We went to dinner, got back to the unit at around 8:45pm, and immediately discovered dozens of cockroaches all over the kitchen. They were on the walls, counters, the cutting board, the floor, on the Vitamix base, in and around the utensil and silverware drawers, etc. By then it was too late to change to another Airbnb so we were forced to spend the night there. We found a dead cockroach in one of the bedrooms and several small ones in the attached bathroom on the counter near the toiletries provided by the host and on one of the faucet handles.
Having lived in NYC and spent time all over the world, I understand that the occasional cockroach can get into even the best of places. What really bothers me about this experience, however, is the fact that the problem was somehow able to get to this point. We counted 9 roach traps in the kitchen near the refrigerator, stove, and under the sink, which seems to indicate that this was a known problem. All the time we ended up spending on the phone with Airbnb, emailing back and force, looking for a new place, etc. really ruined the first couple days of our vacation.
If they can fumigate the unit and give it a deep clean the place will be great. Until then, I would not recommend staying here.
