Started out great and ended not so great.
Cons
- busy street
- in between a nicer and a less nice neighbourhood
- our car window was smashed overnight
- it’s nice that chairs & umbrella are offered but they would need to be updated as they are old and umbrella is tiny.
Pros
- close to supermarkets, stores, and to Hollywood beach.
- old but clean
- overall quiet building
- confortable bed
Overall we were very happy with the location and the condo. It was overall very clean but the blinds were pretty dusty and windows could of been cleaner.
The area seemed quiet, except the street which can be busy but baby slept fine with some white noise in the background.
As communicated with host, our car and another couple’s car was burglarized on the same night. We both had our windows broken in. It so happened that these were the only two cars in the lot and which were parked in their designated parking spots. Belief is that it was someone who knew these spots were often taken up by tourists. This cost us over $1000 in damages and had us lose at least 3 days of our vacation time. It was very unfortunate and I slept very badly after that waking up all through the night to check on our car. As commented by the police, it would be nice if there were at least some security cameras in the parking lot since it seems many units in this condo are being rented on Airbnb by host and at least one other host.
If it wasn’t for that, we would have rated our stay much higher and considered renting condo again in the future, unfortunately, with the break in, we will be looking for another area.
