Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
First the good.
1- the location is very nice, near the beach and is generally walkable and convenient.
2- the apartment was clean, functional and furnished to meet our needs as a family of three. The building is a beautiful older art deco building.
3 - we had a successful vacation and overall had a great time despite the issues i will describe below.
The bad-
1 - the apartment is in need of a serious update and it was confusing to us why the owners would not make minor repairs to their investment. For example, there was water damage on the floors and oddly uneven tile in the bathroom. A loose door on the in-unit laundry was not installed correctly and fell on my three year old daughter. Additionally there was weird damage on the front door from what we could only imagine was when a previous tenant was evicted by the sheriff.
2- the hosts or managers we're absolutely non communicative and the phones number they provided did not work. It was confusing to us why the property mangers would not make themselves available or otherwise able to be reached. I shudder to think what would have happened if our young family was locked out ir there was an emergency.
Summary -
Its a clean apartment that is functional and private in a beautiful building in a wonderful city. However, the owners could make the experience better for guests by maintaining it better and being communicative. Overall we had a wonderful vacation but would not stay here again.
