The Pros:
The Balcony was great! It is so close to the beach and great restaurants: Pizza, Thai, Mexican within a few minutes.
There is a lot of room with 2 bathrooms and a bunk bed in the living room alongside a queen in the bedroom. I'm sure the futon and couch also acommodate even more people in the kitchen/livingroom combo.
The Cons:
The place while I was there was under renovations. The host messaged me after I booked to tell me that there would be a mess outside on the entryway balcony and some wet paint. I did not understand that this would mean that workers would be using loud power tools throughout my stay including at 7am Sunday morning right outside the bedroom window. I also think the amenities were not replenished because of the renovations. There was no coffee or kitchen sponges to clean dishes with. There was one very narrow (kids?) beach chair and a rusty beach umbrella in the closet.
I messages the host and he sent over supplies/offered a discount.
