Pros: Great location distance wise, 7 minute walk to the beach and numerous coffee shops, restaurants and convenience stores. Comfortable mattresses. Owner provided clean bath and beach towels. Fully stocked kitchen.
Cons: Microfiber sheets (non-cotton), no pillowcases for pillows in the closet, had to sleep on the decorative pillows (I don’t think those get washed). Things were a bit dusty in the apartment. No keurig, just basic walmart coffee maker. Kitchen is fully stocked but there’s no dishwasher.
Building cons: Construction noises start early, around 8am. We got lucky and it was for only 2 days out of our week long stay. Water was shut off one of the days, with very short notice- flyer in the door the evening before. There was also an evacuation alarm one evening around 10pm, we had to exit the building using the stairway and we are on 22 floor. Turned out to be a false alarm, thank goodness.
Location cons: The homeless problem is bad in this area because they gather outside the church that’s right down the street. Lots of homeless folks laying around on sidewalks on the way to the beach. A lot of them are high/drunk. A homeless lady started screaming at my kid in the middle of the street. Scared the crap out of her. The stench from the sewer/homeless people is so unpleasant.
Our stay at this apartment was good, but these other details left an unpleasant taste ..
