This AirBnB was adequate but not great. I would not choose to rent this unit again - especially if I planned on working there remotely or spending any time at the condo itself besides sleeping.
PROS:
- Very clean
- Well appointed
- Comfortable bed
- No contact checkin/checkout process
- Quick responses from the host
CONS
- *Very* dark. Despite being on the ground floor, this condo feels like a basement. All the windows are high up on the wall and covered with curtains. You need artificial light in every single room at any time of the day.
- Quite noisy. The host asked us to "keep use of the AC to a minimum" because of the upstairs neighbours complaints. As a result we solely relied on windows and fans for temperature control. This meant we could hear conversations, car alarms, landscaping equipment, TV upstairs, kids screaming/crying at pretty much all times of the day - even with the 9pm curfew. This was tolerable during the day but quite unfortunate at night... Also, leaving the front door opened (with a locked screen) is necessary for ventilation which means you are on display as the door faces the entire length of the walkway outside.
- Fairly warm. Because of the request to minimize AC use to a minimum, this place is fairly warm during the day and especially at night.
- The lanai is disappointing. The lanai is a dark space with no natural light and right next to the parking lot. Convenient for drying out clothes but not much else.
- The internet was subpar - especially for working remotely. The connection did not allow for video streaming or video conference calls without frequent drops or heavy pixelation.
