Cons - very old apartment so noisy wooden flooring.Parking is a pain - only street parking or paid parking in a nearby parking lot. All the beds make squeaky sound every time you move Loud card during the night.No dumpsters to dump trash which could be a pain if you plan to stay longer.Pros - location - very close to beaches and restaurants.Safe to some extent as doors have an entry code. Neat and cleanSpacious Kitchen and utensils are good.

Property was as described. We had six in out party and had plenty of room. Property does not have an elevator. Stairs are very steep and hard to get luggage up. Would not recommend if you are not in good physical condition. Or stairs are difficult for you. This is noted before we arrived.

Okay Stay

Just needing a one night stay prior to a cruise, it worked. No elevator or at least what looked to be an elevator was not working. Short on towels and extra sheets. One of us decided to crash on the couch rather than double up in a bed and there were no extra sheets. There were a few transom windows that let in street lights and were bothersome when attempting to sleep. No hot water in the primary suite tub/shower. Lastly, running children in unit upstairs carried on to late in the evening. We made it work but isn't what we are used to.

Nice Apartment

Easy check in and host stayed in communication. Parking is not free until after 6pm and can be hard to find near building sometimes leaving you walking down the street to get to apartment. Have to take the stairs but that was advertised. Bicycles advertised to use for free were all broken. Roach on stairwell. No curtains on windows, one tv in whole apartment , wifi was not great for families with lots of devices. Small shower in first bathroom, toilet seats were scratched up in both bathrooms, top window in first bedroom let light in from hallway during the night. Pet friendly is a plus although no real grass area around for them to use restroom except a church ground. Located A street behind the stand-easy walk. No complaints just observations. Overall great stay! Would definitely use again and recommend to anyone for a comfortable place to stay.

Birthday

2 couples, 78 yr old, celebrating a birthday. We enjoyed our stay. We had everything we needed and then some. Loved the walkability to the Strand…shops and restaurants. No complaints. Would stay here again….the only thing that could make it batter is an elevator….maybe some lamps in the living room for reading.

Great Place Near the Strand

Love the place and how it’s in the middle of everything from the Strand to the Pier. Only complaint was how noisy the street was outside the windows but that’s expected when staying anywhere downtown. Overall really great place and would stay again!
