Overall this is an okay Airbnb. With a deeper cleaning, some basic necessities, and a few upgrades this Airbnb would be excellent. The location is great, and the building was pretty good despite the plumbing construction.
When we arrived the kitchen was dirty: oil on the walls and back splash from the stove. The stove hadn’t been cleaned (when the cleaning service costs hundreds of dollars, you expect that the host is using the money to actually do a deep cleaning). When we arrived there was a light bulb out in the bathroom. Called the host and they sent some to clean the stove, walls and replace the light bulb. The silverware trays had hair, dirt and grime in the tray. The ice trays in the freezer were very dirty. We ended up spending about an hour cleaning the unit before we unpacked our cloths. The lanai doesn’t have a table to put your morning coffee on (just two rusted chairs). The lighting was horrible in the living room. We ended up buying two pole lamps for the unit. There were no wash cloths in the until, so we ended up going to Walmart and bought a few washcloths. The walls and doors need a fresh coat of paint. The doors in my college dorm were better kept than the doors in this condo. The vinyl flooring in the kitchen is pretty worn. The vinyl squares on the floor in the bathroom are loose. There were only two dish towels, so we ended up buying 6 dish towels at Costco. We also bought a bath tub mat, because the tub is very slippery. So the next renters should be thankful that we equipped the place with somethings that should have already been provided.
Somethings we wished were included: beach chairs and a night stand on both sides of the bed (only had one). It’s also time for a new refrigerator, although it works, it’s pretty old and doesn’t have an ice maker.
Parking was very convenient, however the ladies at the ticket both are pretty crabby. You can tell it’s “just a job”. The staff at the DMV are friendlier than these ladies.
The front desk and the security guards are very friendly and helpful.
The communication with the host was great. Quick response. Easy check-in.
