The photos make the place look more pristine than it is! It needs some maintenance - paint chipping, floor trim needs replacing, and the light bulbs need replacing (more than 50% were burned out). Wall art also needs replacing, as the frames were broken. Minor maintenance but would help the appearance a lot!
The porch area was very dirty with trash present and a couch that was broken in the middle. The mailbox was also off the post on the porch. We did let Gio know these things, so hopefully an update on these items will help this place be more suitable. It could be adorable, just needs a bit of cleaning and maintenance!
The location is PERFECT so the cost of $100/night (total) was WORTH IT (Had it been more expensive the maintenance issues would have bothered us). It was truly less than a 1 min walk to the sand!!!! The Hollywood boardwalk does have good restaurants, but is a bit run down. There are abandoned hotels and homeless residents at all times.
