The host was always responsive via text message. Parking is close, although it is paid parking in a parking garage. The property is accessible using a remote access procedure, so we did not actually meet the host in person but the technology worked and it was an enjoyable experience. The apartment was pristine — the unit has the feel of a high end hotel. We were impressed with the contemporary decor; we especially enjoyed the swing in the living room facing the balcony and the gorgeous whale decal by the dining table. The location was the perfect place for exploring the city on foot - restaurants, shopping, beaches, and other attractions are all easy walking distance. We highly recommend this property and hope to have the opportunity to visit again.
