I want to begin by saying that Thea was a great host her personality was inviting and caring and i appreciate her opening her home to me. The main reason i chose Thea's was because of it's proximity to Holy Cross Hospital, which was the purpose of my stay. I was visiting someone very close to me that was in the hospital. The Second reason i chose Thea's was because after reading the other reviews i felt that the space was going to be clean and well maintained which is very important to me. Because i believe in the importance of accurate reviews and that they are essential to the overall experience i would have to share that i do not agree with previous guests that said the place was clean. The surface appears clean, however the shower walls had mold growing and the built in soap holders had left over shards of crusted soap from previous guests left behind along with their hair and a nice layering of scum and grime which continued over to the shower curtain. The shower curtain was clear plastic, but was scummy and you couldn't avoid making contact because of how narrow the shower is. Forget about going to the bathroom without the use of slippers or flipflops unless you like the way kitty liter feels between your toes.

I had to fish the rod out of the litter at least twice. The overall feel of the apartment was comfortable and the Oriental theme scattered throughout was pleasant. the bedroom was a nice size and private, but i have 2 complaints. First, the room is damp and has a mildew odor, which you can smell immediately upon entering the apartment. I tried mentioning to Thea, but she was a bit offended so i backed off. It looks like there may be an issue at the window area as there were a few spots at the base of the floor where the drywall was soft or missing. Second, although the bed was very comfortable it was literally a good 4 foot of the ground. Since i am only 5 foot tall this posed some what of a problem for me. I was literally climbing to get in and jumping to get out. I understood she was using the space underneath as storage, but when you have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and you're half asleep climbing up that high sometimes seemed impossible. Nonetheless, if the place was cleaner and the mildew not present i would stay again. It's proximity to the hospital and the ocean are good. It never really took me more than 10 minutes to get anywhere i was going and there was designated free permit parking, which is a plus. I heard there was...
