first the place setting is supposed to be fantastic and the unit a bit old but photos are rather representative of the place. the beach towels appeared not well washed but rest was ok.
the main issue we had is that plywood blocked the entire downstairs window and doors (no light, no air, no access to outside except the parking via the front door) as a high-surf warning was issued. the notice inside the appartment was dated from 2010, so this is obviously not news to the owners. we were not warned at any point. we arrived late and found out that without AC the downside was a really hot and dark cave. unbearable really (not just a lack of view). so we had to look for another place at the last
minute.
The owner was responsive and did refund us the rest of the nights right away. yet, it was very stressful and i wished it was written somewhere in the ad and notified to us before checking in. this was obviously in place for a while as the whole row of houses had same plywood walls on windows and blocking the entire patio.
