The view from this place is great. But ... everything else is kind of a bummer. We wound up leaving after one night for a few reasons:
1 - The property is above a restaurant/bar (that apperantly is owned and operated by the same family) and is directly above the walk in freezer. This meant anytime someone walked in or out of the freezer there was a loud bang and it would shake the apartment
2 - The place didn't feel clean. There were gross brown cobwebs between the window and the shades. The air con unit in the bedroom smelt like someone had been smoking for a long time in the unit. There were raid traps throughout the house and most of the available cups and plates were not clean.
3 - The kitchen exhaust from the restaurant (where they do a lot of fried food, based on the smell) is right outside the unit, so you have a nice hazy cloud of smelly "air" right outside your door.
4 - there is a door they show in the photos I assumed was a second door to the unit. It is, but it goes to the rest of the building/restaurant so it's a little creepy since the lock controls are on the other side of the door.
5 - the ice maker is also below the unit so you get to hear whenever the bar runs out of ice and they need to scoop more
6 - the mattresses were great, but the pillows weren't so it negated that. They were also old and looked ... not clean.
7 - First thing you see when you get in is a thing about reporting damage to the unit and how important it is. Then in the bedroom one of the blinds was broken and unusable.
8 - The owner is a realtor and left a stack of her cards which just seemed kind of tacky. This was also mentioned on the only "instructions" for the house - which were basically to go to their restaurant - but no other folder or notices about the house.
9 - The coffee machine was there, but the coffee left there was an old and NEARLY empty bag of starbucks coffee. It would not have made a whole pot, and also could not have been fresh.
If the weather had been better maybe we would have toughed it out but we couldn't handle a day of "relaxing" in the house with the freezer door constantly slamming. The location really is great, but the unit itself just had too many issues.
