Pros:
-Great location in downtown Capitola
-Parking is close and easy
-The apartment technically has everything you need
-When I needed assistance with check in, Bjorn answered my call immediately
Cons:
-Had to call Bjorn upon arrival for the lock box code which was not provided prior
-Sheets and towels seemed to be cleaned, but one towel had a stain and the comforter for the couch bed don’t have a cover and didn’t appear to be washed in between uses
-Felt like a place I didn’t want to be barefoot in
-Patio doors weren’t locked, nor could we figure out how to lock them until the last night (hint: you have to lift both handles simultaneously). Needless to say, we were wary of leaving our things behind during the day and had to sleep with the door unlocked. The lock wasn’t broken, but instructions would have been appreciated.
-The apartment is directly above a popular restaurant, and while there were not be patrons beyond 10-11pm, the music was on past midnight and you can feel the bass vibrating through the floor.
-There’s no light above the front door and the entryway is dark, so you need to use your phone or a flashlight coming home after dark.
If you are visiting for a surf vacation, this will probably be the perfect place for you.
Overall, not what I expected based on the reviews I read. For the price per night, I would have felt I was getting a better value elsewhere.
