I am a superhost on Airbnb who has had hosted hundreds of guests myself so would certainly read my critique below before booking this property for over $450 a night in the summer.
Positives- Great ocean front view although it is obstructed partially by a building that is not clearly shown in the pick. The condo itself was clean, had thick walls, and high ceilings so you don’t hear the neighbors much although there is a pretty constant sound of water running in the bathroom. It was easy to walk up and down the stairs to avoid the long waits for the elevators. The pool is nice and the food in the hotel is good.
Negatives - The host wasn’t able to respond to my early check in request and only sent checkin instructions a few hours before checkin after me asking. She didn’t send any checkout instructions. The bed was very hard and hurt my back, condo had multiple lightbulbs out so it was hard to see in the bathroom, there is only one mirror in the condo in the bathroom, there is no coffee, the outside chairs were stained and had the stuffing coming out so hard to sit on. The management team that ran the hotel was terrible though as I almost had to call the police after the valet couldn’t find my car after waiting for almost an hour, the pool closes well before sunset, and you can’t get pool towels after 5:30pm. It is also a pretty long walk on the beach to get the umbrella and chairs included in the resort fee as it’s not right in front of the resort as you might think. The beach is also disgusting in the summer time there as the city doesn’t clean up the seaweed from the beach regularly.
