I stayed at Phil's for about 5 weeks. It was great! the place is VERY minimalistic, as described in the listing. But overall a fantastic value. Great location to shopping, beaches, close freeway access. It's in a quiet and safe neighborhood that I felt very comfortable in with my young child. Phil is friendly and answers questions/communicates promptly. The unit gets pretty hot during the day but it's not really a problem if you're out and about all day like we were. also, a previous reviewer stated something about hearing neighbors partying once a month and I never heard any parties.
Also to note, I hardly ever heard anything from the other unit.
There was never any issues with bugs. I never saw any cockroachs or similar inside the unit.
so over all, as expected. Nothing fancy but easy to check into, easy to find parking, easy to navigate to other points of interest on island.
thanks Phil!
