Location gets 5 stars. Hollywood beach is a 30 second walk from the block of apartments. All of the main restaurants on the boardwalk are within a mile, and it's a mile away from a small nature park as well. The neighborhood is relatively quiet for the amount of traffic that passes through to the beach and feels safe. There is no beating the convenience of having a beach day while having your own bed and bathroom less than a minute walk away if you need a break. There are minimally obstructed views of the beach from the front patio area. Value for the property itself is 4 stars. Apartment 4 is very small but I assume that most beach front "apartments" are. There is one very small room with one closed off bedroom. In the room are a few counters and a fridge that make up the kitchen, a bed and two small chairs. Because of where its located, chances are that you wouldn't need to have much space anyways. It didn't bother my husband and I because we didn't spend much time in the apartment itself- we pretty much only came back to shower, sleep and get dressed. Therefore, for the price the property seems fair. There are larger apartments as a part of this building. Communication and organization on behalf of the host gets 2.5 stars. Prior to booking, I specifically told the host that my departing flight was scheduled for late in the evening. I asked him if we would be able to check out later than is custom. (By the way, there was no stated check in and check out time on the airbnb site). He told me that it depended on the reservations at the time. More specifically, I asked him if we could stay until 3pm/4pm. He replied "no problem" and so we booked. The day we arrived (a couple of weeks later), I messaged the host to confirm that we would be able to have the room until the afternoon of our check out date. He told me at this time- after my message and after we had already landed and checked in- that he would no longer be able to accommodate that because there were new guests who had booked since we last spoke. After explaining my frustration and disappointment, and after a couple of apologies and "sorry for the inconvenience"s I was approached by the building's manager, Mary. She echoed Nick's sentiments. I explained that due to his changing his mind, my husband and I would need to carry our luggage with us for 8 hours until our flight. Thankfully, Mary sorted out an arrangement where we were able to keep our luggage locked in a different apartment after leaving ours. This still left us without a place to shower or stay but at least we could spend the day on the boardwalk instead of the airport. Overall, we give this place 4 stars. Location is unbeatable, property is very...
