My girlfriend and I chose this AirBnB because of the location and the pictures looked phenomenal. The location is EXCELLENT. It is a short walk to all the downtown shops, restaurants, bars, and tourist attractions. Airport is 10-15 min away.
We never felt too far from anything, yet there is a certain seclusion to this apartment/condo.
The communication of the host was great, she was there to answer all our questions within seconds! She made sure we got checked in at our scheduled time and even accommodated a late check out since there was no one checking in after us, THANK YOU!
The property is managed by a HOA so that's who we dealt with for parking and on site accommodations.
Unfortunately, the AC to the unit did go out during our stay. I contacted the host and she immediately reached out with concern, alerting us that there are extra fans in the unit we could use. Again, the communication was A1. However, it was hot and muggy in the apartment and my girlfriend and I found it more enjoyable to camp in the Jeep we rented than to be in the apartment because the Jeep had AC. IT's not the host's fault but it comes with the territory of owning an older building.
There were no extra accommodations or welcomings. I would recommend the host look into this as probably 95%, or more, guests are coming in as a vacation and a get away and that would make for a great personalized touch to this apartment.
The apartment/condo was somewhat plain (all tablecloths, and extra decorations were removed). Extra accommodations included extra towels, WIFI, 2 smart TVS, a britta filter, boogie boards, and camping chairs. The condo/apartment did feel empty without the extra decorations as shown in the photos. That definitely hurt the "charm" of the space.
All in all, some things were disappointing. The location made up for most of the shortcomings. For the price, I feel it is fair, certainly not a bargain. All in all I would probably look for something more charming/ or with more character for our next spot for a destination vacation.
Thank you for allowing us to stay in your space!
