Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Apartment was fairly basic but ok. Only booked for 1 night to be close to the airport. Room was very clean but the mattress was very hard and I found it uncomfortable. The advertisement did say that there was no lift at the property but didn’t mention that the apartment was on the 3rd floor. This is a major downside for elderly transatlantic travellers with several heavy bags or anyone with mobility issues and it is something that should be made clear before booking. The WiFi wasn’t working the night we stayed but would be a major nuisance if staying longer.

Wrong unit but still lovely!

We did not receive the unit that was advertised, but it was still ocean front and we were only staying for one night so it was fine for us. Great location, I’d definitely stay here again!

Great location & clean

We stayed here for 8 days the location is great and the unit was very clean. An excellent place for the cost. The negatives are its a 3rd floor walk up so if you have arthritis in your knees it would have been nice to know. And the big issue for us that made us leave and pay for another hotel our last 2 days was the mattress, it is VERY firm like sleeping on a concrete slap, worst mattress I've ever laid on. If you like an extra firm bed this place is excellent.
