When we arrived, they had water bottles in the fridge, there were some fruits on the counter and snacks which was a nice touch although not sure if it was meant for us or were just left by the previous tenants.
The pictures of the place looked better than the place itself. The place is full of mirrors. It had enough space for 5 people to stay comfortably.
The TVs were good except the remotes would control the other room as well so we ended up just watching tv in the living room instead. Otherwise the tv in the bedrooms will just constantly be changing channels if its both being used and was pointless.
Kitchen had all the basic things we needed. No washer/dryer in the unit.
The master bedroom is ok but the sheets definitely need to be changed, it looked like it had been there for years and it was rough and worn out especially the comforter. There was this constant water dripping coming from the side of the master bedroom, sometimes so loud where it sounds like someone is peeing next to you while you’re sleeping. I take sleep meds so eventually I fall asleep, but if it wasn’t the constant water sound, in the morning the back alley has a lot of noise and kept waking us up. Something I also didn’t like was the bedroom door is glass and no way to lock so its good if you don’t care about safety not privacy. Theres also an exit door from the master bedroom to go directly to the back alley which made me feel unsafe especially since we saw some characters hanging around the alley.
They had beach stuff you can use which was nice but they’re worn out and some were broken so we didn’t use them, there were sunscreens but expired.
They have 1 free parking spot in the back alley that you have to share with the tenants next door so it is for whoever takes it first except the spot itself is good for a motorcycle. It says its good for a small vehicle but it isn’t. And after what ive seen in the back alley, i wouldn’t park my car there anyway. They have free parking from 6pm-8am at the front, so as long as you’re ready by 8am to leave then its good otherwise you pay $2/hr but only can park max of 3hrs. Either way, you have to wake up at 8am so you can start paying for the parking spot. They said theres also free parking across the street if you want to take a chance.
The cancellation is not really free cancellation. I tried to end my stay earlier and check out after 2 nights and they denied my request and wanted to keep all my money for the week. Thats pretty steep. I told them that is false advertising on their end and shouldn’t have put free cancellation. I have stayed in plenty of airbnb’s so I understand the cancellation policies, so instead of modifying my stay, I just cancelled it to get my money back. Either way, they got paid an extra night which I thought was fair for cancelling early but not going to pay for an entire week.
