My actual rating probably would have been 3.5 ish. Give or take?
Pros:
I loved the ambiance of this unit. The decorations are very much my taste. I practically lived on the cozy balcony where I’d sit on my laptop, read, or do yoga. I saw absolutely beautiful views of the sun rise. I got up for work at 3 am & would open the doors all the way & enjoy the outdoor vibes while I worked from home. Until about 9am when the very loud construction would start lol. Everyone was so friendly, including security & the manager of the building. I had the kitchen light go out & Brad was there that same day to fix it. I asked to extend my stay & they were on top of it, super fast, friendly, & efficient. It was in a great area, close to anything you’d need: groceries, bars, beach, etc. (I think I may have been drugged at one of the bars nearby tho so be careful ladies!)
Cons: The loud construction, the bedroom rug that is a tripping hazard lol, the roach traps everywhere, & the last week I was there, fire drills went on for a few hours every day. They were very loud drills w someone talking over the intercom inside the unit while I tried to work from home on the phone. I never used the workout equipment; it was actually an eye sore for me & I think that space has a lot of potential for something else but that’s just personal preference. But my main complaint would have been the cleanliness. I paid almost $8k for the month so I expected it to be spotless. But the floors were so dirty I couldn’t walk barefoot without my feet being black. There was no broom or mop to do it myself. The surface of the fridge was so dirty, I just wiped it down & noticed a thick layer of dirt. The dishes in the cupboards were dirty; I found a dead roach with the spoons & a dead spider in a pot. So I felt the need to wash everything before I used it. The dishwasher didn’t work from day 1 & smelled bad. The shower had someone else’s hair left behind, as well as old soap residue that didn’t belong to me. Also, the shower head has absurdly hard water pressure. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate good water pressure but this was just painful. & if you tried to turn it down it was just too loud & annoying, it gave me a headache. The shower experience was just 0/5, I hated having to do it. Which is unfortunate bc I love showers lol. But it was just dirty & painful especially after burnt skin from hanging in the sun. The bathroom also just smelled bad for some reason. There was also bird poop all along the balcony’s hand rail & it was hard to clean off (needs power washed probably).
Overall it was a lovely stay, but the cons did make it seem quite overpriced to me.
