The best things about this place were the central location and the view out to the lanai with beautiful flowering trees and lit torches (a great place to watch sunset). I also enjoyed having 2 bathrooms and access to the small gym. Joe who was part of security was extremely welcoming during after hours check in and had great recommendations. Overall, we had a great time.
However, I have to mention that the laundry machine smelled of mildew and I could see black mold around the rim, as well as black mold on the window air conditioning units (I took photographs). I also developed a sore throat during the stay - unsure if related to the mold, but it lessened when we stopped using the A/C units and just left the lanai door open with the screen shut and fans on. We did contact Viktoria about these concerns and she was responsive and sent someone out to clean immediately. I did notice that the A/C units were cleaner, but the laundry machine appeared the same, and both retained the mildew smell. We chose not to use the A/C or laundry machine for the rest of the stay and used a laundromat down the street where you can drop off and pick up your laundry. Given that in- unit washing was one of our search criteria for a place to stay, this was disappointing. We did not follow up with Viktoria again about the issue because we did not further want to interrupt our vacation, and she did not follow up with us.
I still did appreciate the convenience and affordability of the place and would stay again if I could be confident those issues were fixed. Mahalo for the stay!
