Aziz’s apartment is very well appointed with high-end Amana appliances, plush towels and soft linens, plenty of blankets and pillows, a Whirlpool microwave, marble countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms, just about every cooking utensil you could want and beach umbrellas, a cooler and chairs. The umbrellas are in the heater closet at the end of the hall. The dining and living room furniture is quite nice, the floors are large square tiles, and the unit was spotless when we arrived. Aziz definitely put some thought and effort into stocking the apartment with plenty of wine glasses and cutlery, and presenting a place that’s both comfortable and pleasantly decorated. There are even little items like a metal basket suctioned into the sink, to put the dish sponges. Unlike other rental apartments, this one has art and decorations. (Ladies: the mirror in the first bedroom makes you look about 20 pounds thinner.) On the downside, opening the door to the second bedroom is very awkward and when open, it does not go all the way open, so it hangs in the middle of the hall. It’s very difficult to wheel suitcases in or out. My 97- year- old mother is in a wheelchair, and while there is an elevator to get up to the unit, her chair had to be lifted into the unit, and we could not negotiate the hall to the second bedroom in her chair. So we basically had to carry her to bed, too. She needed that particular bedroom as it has two twin beds and her caregiver sleeps beside her. My suggestion is to just get rid of the door to the second bedroom, and to have a portable wedge to put outside the front door, so that a wheelchair can be rolled up. Let me add here, that Aziz was certainly informed in our e-mail correspondence (which I have copied and saved) that my mother is elderly, handicapped and would be coming with a caregiver. (My husband and I visited and stayed periodically, but for 10 weeks, my mom was the principal occupant.) More on that later. The TV is a large screen modern one. Watching shows is very enjoyable, and my mother, who is legally blind, could sit in front of the screen and actually see some of a show. A nice TV is a plus. When I saw the pictures of the building, I was drawn to the courtyard that overlooks the inter-coastal waterway. It has tables with umbrellas and chairs. A laundry is located there, but you must have a credit card in order to use the machines. There is also a decent, little pool, which my husband and I enjoyed after a long walk in the sun. Having said that, Aziz’s apartment does not have a balcony outside the unit that can be accessed from within, so you either have to walk downstairs, or in my mother’s case, take the elevator. Now, Aziz didn’t present his apartment as being on the water, so it’s certainly not his fault, but when you see the other units with the balconies and lounge chairs right outside their units facing the water, one has a sense of longing. Personally, I much prefer being directly on the water when on vacation. Aziz’s unit is a great home base if you’re exploring the area, but not one you want to hang out and lounge in—certainly not for 10 weeks. One thing I love is to sit outside a unit and stare at the water. Not going to happen here. Aziz initially presented as accommodating and helpful. When problems arose, however, he became downright nasty. (Again, I’ve saved all his correspondence.) The AC in this apartment complex often goes on the fritz. So early on, the temperature in the unit got well above 80 and I was worried. Extreme heat can be fatal in the elderly. I communicated that to Aziz and I guess he was angry that I mentioned my fear that my mother could die without AC. He wrote that he was upset by my words. And as I’m sitting here now writing, the AC has been out for two days and it won’t be fixed until after we leave. To his credit, Aziz had what he said was a $400. portable unit installed in the living room, but that’s the living room. He seemed to want credit for installing something that costs $400, since he mentioned the price. It does NOT send cool air to the bedrooms, even with the broken AC unit’s fan going. One night my mother perspired so heavily we had to change her bedclothes twice. Last night, I had trouble sleeping, as I need to have it below 70. It hovered in the high seventies. Aziz said that, had he known, (which, of course, he did know) that an elderly person would be here with a caregiver, he would not have rented to us. I kindly pointed out that it is illegal to discriminate against the elderly. His response was, and I quote, “I’m not running a hospital and the apartment manager (Julio) is not a nurse.” But, the issue concerned a malfunctioning AC and my mom’s health. Period. No one was asking for special treatment. We paid close to 9 thousand dollars for this 10 week airbnb rental. A functioning AC unit is standard in hot climates. I noted that some folks on Tripadvisor mentioned the broken AC and it didn’t bother them. But that was in the dead of winter. It’s a little bit different in April when the outside temp is in the 90’s. Additionally, when we were moving in ten weeks ago, a resident said we might want to reconsider because of the cockroaches. We couldn’t cancel, though, so late in the game. Well. . . be advised, there ARE cockroaches. You will see two or three every day. In reply to someone else’s comments, Aziz said he would hire an exterminator, and someone has come to...
