Great apartment in an excellent location. Everything worked as planned. Smooth check-in, clean apartment, exactly as described, great views, well equipped for 4 people (if you are more than 4, then ask for an extra dining chair and linens for the sofa bed).
Communication with Enrico was timely and accurate.
Great experience with owner and unit.
I was very confused by the different units offered in the same building. They all look the same. Apartment 1809 is excellent and Enrico is excellent to deal with.
No hidden fees, or strange charges. Access to gym, pool, chairs and towels in the building is all included. Beach club fees are not included (but there is no need to pay them if you do not want a lounge chair at the beach). Beach is 3 minutes away and there is a free shuttle that takes you there every 15 min or so.
Valet parking is not included, approx. $26 a day, there is no way around it.
Only drawback is the waiting times at the elevator. We learned that building was NOT originally planned as a hotel, hence the elevators were not calculated to manage the volumes of people going in and out. We had to wait more than 15 min (three times) for the elevator. Pretty annoying when you have plans, dinner reservations or just want to go to the beach.
Problem started during peak season week (Christmas/holiday break), the week before it was totally fine.
Issue would not prevent me from renting it again. It is worth it.
