We had a really great stay at this unit, and just about everything was provided for. The kitchen has most utensils, pots, and pans you'd need, and there were some small disposable aluminum baking trays too. Salt and pepper was provided as well. We stocked up on food from a nearby Publix, and got a small tub of butter that we used as an oil substitute, and got some larger flat aluminum trays to bake pre-made cookies. There were lots of extra towels, and the in-unit washer and dryer were really convenient to wash and dry clothes and towels. There were two dish washer pods and two clothes washing detergent packets provided, which should be enough for a 4-5 day stay. There was also a scrub sponge and a small bottle of hand washing soap too. The unit has high-end Bosch appliances (microwave, oven, dishwasher), which we put to good use.
The unit comes with three large flat screen TVs, which we used, and we were pleased with the channel selection. The bathrooms were big and clean - though no shelves or ledges on the walls to put soap or bottles. The balcony is super big, and stretches the entire length of all three rooms along the wall, with three separate sliding door entrances - MBR, living area, and second BR. I like that the unit has carpeting in all areas except the kitchen, though in some spots, the carpeting was a little frayed (along the tile to carpet transition in the kitchen area), and had some stains in various areas. This is to be expected though. The unit is in great shape otherwise.
The host is super responsive and quick, and answered all questions we had in just a few minutes. We had a problem at check-in, though this wasn't the host's fault. The building management for the owner's side had literally just changed management companies 2 hours before we checked in (change happened at 3 p.m., we arrived at 5). The new people had no idea what they were doing, and didn't know how to operate the computer check-in system. Talk about a huge failure in transition and training.
I've read online reviews that complained about the slowness of the elevators. I agree that having only 4 elevators serving a building that has more than 40 floors is way too few. They really need at least 8 elevators, but the narrowness of the property probably didn't allow for that. However, we didn't experience the tremendous waits that some people complained about. We didn't wait for more than 5-6 minutes for an elevator, but I can see how during very busy times - such as spring break, the elevator wait could be long.
If you have a large group, you might want to bring a little extra shampoo just in case - we had a group of 5, and there was just enough conditioner and body wash for all of us. We brought some extra shampoo on our own, which was handy as the shampoo ran a little short.
This was a great stay and a very nice unit. I would definitely stay again if given the opportunity.
