PROS- Ella's place was EXACTLY what my grandson and I needed for our brief beach get-away. It is a small efficiency apartment w/no extras, bells nor whistles. The 90-second walk to the beach was a huge bonus. The place is in a very quiet neighborhood and the trail/boardwalk was safe and always had someone walking, running or riding a bike. The city bus is a block away and we were able ride it to a busier tourist beach area for entertainment & food. I would definitely stay here again.
CONS- 1- The check in is at 4PM & check-out is at 10AM which is a two hour difference from the normal 3PM/11AM that I am accustomed to wherever I stay (there is a $30 charge if a late check-out is allowed). 2- The cleaning requirements baffled me; I was instructed to strip the bed, clean the dishes etc have the room like it was when I arrived or pay a cleaning charge despite the cleaning fee when I booked. 3- The 3rd party property mgmnt held a $50 deposit in addition to my paid rez via Airbnb.
