Overall, after staying at the Kon Tiki location for a month, I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it! The location was in a very safe area, a few blocks from the beach (no more than a 5-6 minute easy walk) with lots to do around the area. There were several restaurants nearby that offered great happy hour specials, live music and/or full menus. You'll be across the street from a convenience store, 1.5 mile walk to a Safeway grocery store, and near half a dozen ABC stores that offer everything from adult beverages and snacks to dresses and other souvenirs. Pack light because everything you need is within walking distance!
If you're looking for every day or high-end shopping, you are near "the strip" and can find everything from jewelry to cookies. There are places to stop by where you can sign up for excursions and depart from nearby hotels. This apratment was in a great location because you have access to so much, but you're not in the midst of the business and noise at the beach. I was able to rent a car too (highly recommend 800 Smart Cars two blocks away) to see the rest of the island. I agree that parking though is tough; expect to circle the neighborhood for a while. Many hotels don't offer parking for non-hotel residents or may not offer pre-existing agreements if they are at capacity; and if they do, it's conditional and pricey ($45+).
Carlton, the property manger is such a joy, providing recommendations on where to go and how to get there (if you want to get away from the resort/tourist area). If you're tired of the beach, relax at the pool (which is cleaned daily) or in the quaint apartment that is truly laid out just as it advertised. There was plenty of room to set up for work, have an area to watch tv and the bed was comfortable. The kitchen was much larger than expected and had lots of cookware.
The major item that needed attention was the level of cleanliness of the apartment, which was shared with the realty team. Hopefully, they'll implement some new standards that will make future guests feel comfortable upon arrival.
