Pros:
This apartment is very centrally located. Convenient to the airport, beach, and amazing restaurants. Must try the 15th Street Fisheries restaurant only a mile away and Coconuts near the beach.
The apartment appeared neat and clean and it was generally comfortable.
The kitchen appliances are newer and the kitchen contained what we needed for light meals. We especially loved brewing coffee in the morning.
The living room sofas were sturdy and comfortable. The bed in the master was perfect for me. I slept very well.
Janet the host was very pleasant and responded quickly to my questions and had great restaurant recommendations.
Cons: (not to deter others - just my honest opinion and experience)
The space is very decent and is as shown in the pictures. However, this isn't luxury so have realistic expectations.
We had to battle ants in the kitchen daily despite immediately cleaning up after cooking and not leaving food out. There was a large and small cockroack in the kitchen and a huge one in the bathtub (perhaps the reason both tub drains were closed upon checking in). I saw a previous guest complained about this with an unknown resolution. Considering the environment and climate I personally would have proactive and routine extermination done inside and out.
The backdoor has no blinds or cover and the next building's residents can see right into the unit.
The living room lacks a coffee table and the curled rug corner is a tripping hazard.
There are no bathroom hooks or towel bars so your only option is to hang wet towels and washcloths on the shower rod.
The master bedroom fan and bathroom air vents were covered in thick dust buildup (personal pet peeve).
While the immediate area is quiet, the walls between apartments are very thin. I could hear whole conversations as if they were in the next room and they did get loud well after 1am two nights in a row. It had gotten to be intrusive and woke me out of my sleep.
There was an iron but no ironing board, which the host said she would add to the unit.
Overall decent stay. Correcting the above cons would take this rental to a solid 4.5 based on what I would expect at this price point.
