We weren’t able to give 4 or 5 stars for this listing, especially considering that its price point is quite high and thus expectations were as well going into this. On the positive side, the view (and the balcony) is truly the listing’s best selling point. We loved looking out on the ocean, hearing the waves at night, or watching whales surface. Unfortunately, the cleanliness in general was not quite there, especially in the kitchen. Most silverware we took out of the drawer had food stains and leftovers on it, same with many glasses. We essentially washed most dishes to start with. Some of the rugs on the floors (eg bathroom to master bed) looked quite worn out and the bathroom in general looked scruffy and not thoroughly cleaned (which one should expect to find in any listing, but certainly at that price point). Moving on to kitchen equipment, we learned from the listing that ‘kitchen basics’ like oil and salt were present. Turned out there was no oil. We used this info to buy groceries accordingly before checking in. That in and of itself is not a big deal, but added to the list of ‘misses’. Some other things we’d put on that list may be more questions or taste, such as the black marble design in bathrooms which doesn’t seem a great choice, some furniture choices (balcony tables are not usable for dining) or layouts (two sofas may be one too many for a 2 person condo), resources perhaps better spent on other items.
