This airbnb apartment is a private suite in a Hilton hotel - there is a gorgeous waterside view from both the bedroom and living room area, the bed is incredibly comfortable and it is in a prime location for getting to the beach, shops, cafes and restaurants which is a big plus. We loved the newly opened ‘Nanou Sunrise’ - a French bakery very close by.
We came to FL to meet up with friends after 2 years of not seeing them and we booked our stay over the New Years period, so perhaps that’s why the hotel was very busy and there was a big delay accessing our room which meant we were late for our plans with them on our first night which was disappointing.
However, it should be noted that Eddie was very helpful when it came to resolving this issue and as soon as we flagged with him that the hotel weren’t giving us the keys - he worked quickly to get us into our room.
Parking was also a bit of an issue for us - the airbnb listing stated that there is on street parking but no addresses or instructions are provided and as my boyfriend is recovering from a recent back surgery it wasn’t ideal when we realised that the street parking is quite far from the entrance to the building, so we ended up paying expensive valet costs we hadn’t anticipated - making an already quite pricey New Year’s Eve stay even more costly.
Unfortunately due to these factors it wasn’t our smoothest airbnb experience, but we were grateful for Eddie being so communicative when we did have issues.
And I think if guests were to stay at quieter times of year - they would be fine, based on all the other positive reviews we saw on the original listing.
