Cleanliness; the place was clean at first sight but after really looking around a few things definitely needed some improvement. The bathtub; the shower curtain was dirty/ and was on the verge of what looked like mold at the bottom. The tub itself had hair and what appeared to be soap scum along the drain. The bathroom sink/ shower water pressure was extremely low. The toilet paper holder was problem and would fall anytime you moved the roll.
Communication; They were responsive and in timely manner.
Checkin; the check in instructions weren’t very clear, it had a longer list of “house rules” that are not mentioned in the original listing. There is no mention of how to get into the apartment other than a code but there are two lockboxes on the fence so we assumed the key would be in one of them (we didn’t get either box open). Basically they failed to mention the code to get inside would need to be used on the keypad located on the door.
Accuracy; The listing for this location is misleading, it makes it appear more complete than it really is. For example; This location is not what most would consider a “villa”. The outside is not well marked/ or very well light at lite at night, especially at night. The ‘key code’ is the lock for the door that is not disclosed with the checkin instructions. Also, side note; the code on the door OUTSIDE does NOT keep the door looked from the inside. Therefore anyone with the code would have access to the apartment. I would highly recommend the owner add a deadbolt for peace of mind and added security for their guests. The AC unit hardly reaches the bedroom. There are no curtains, only mix match blinds throughout the apartment.l, also the blinds next to the table/ above the AC were broken and did not open. Kitchen was minimal. The wifi was spotty, hardly held a consistent connection. There were zero cleaning produces, the only roll of toilet paper was already in use and there was no kitchen trash bag in the trash bin. The “sofa bed” is a futon, not a true sofa bed and extremely uncomfortable to sit on. The bed had a mattress cover that sounded like a trash bag every time we rolled over it would crinkle. The furnishings themselves are not “modern luxury hotel vibes”. Also, the advertisement states there is laundry, I didn’t see where the laundry would be unless it’s located with the first floor unit. Location is overall not bad, just a few minutes from downtown Hollywood and Hollywood Beach.
Overall the place did its job even though we cut our stay short due to the overall disappointment with the experience. For someone looking for a quick stay with low expectations who just need a place to a sleep and shower, it’ll serve it’s purpose. For someone or a couple looking for a quick getaway with a comfy bed, decent AC and decent sized shower, I’d recommend looking elsewhere.
