Outstanding location, short walk to the beach! That was crucial for me as I love the beach and went to the beach every day during my trip.
Tony was a very friendly host. The facilities were fine, everything worked. Shower had plenty of hot water and plenty of pressure. The tile floor gave me nostalgia for the apartment I rented when I lived in Florida for a year. I didn't arrive until 11PM or so, but it was no problem. I had told him before that my flight was coming in late. He made me coffee one morning and chatted me up. A towel, soap, and toilet paper were provided in my room. Shampoo was also provided, but I had to ask for it. One bathroom shared between everyone, but it worked out fine for me, I never had to wait to use it as I didn't get up at the same time as the other residents. (I think only my bedroom was an airbnb room, the others were longer-term rentals. This is not the kind of Air BnB where you are given a code to get into your room -- you have to actually meet the host to get a key.
The first night, I did not sleep well. It was a new mattress, and Tony had left the plastic covering on it! As a result, the mattress was much less comfortable. The next morning, I asked him to remove the covering, and he was happy to do so -- I slept much better after that. I didn't want to remove it myself in case he intended to keep it on permanently. Apparently it was more an oversight.
The place had a very homey feel, which is a big part of what I like about staying in airbnb. It did not at all feel like staying in a hotel.
I really badly needed this vacation and this change of scenery. Tony's place delivered, giving me a home base from which I could go to the beach and visit my friends and favorite places from when I lived in Florida.
