Hosts are great, the actual unit is pretty decent. However it’s very small, for example the space between one side of the bed and the wall is very tight, and it’s made worse by some decoration oars sticking out a few inches into that space. If the bed could be slip sideways 4 or 5 inches, that would help, but it’s built in. The couch is very uncomfortable, not sure why, it looks nice enough. On to the building it self, it was badly damaged during the last hurricane/storm, therefore lots of construction going on, and so several things are not working or unavailable such as elevators. The makeshift office is now inside a regular unit, at which you will get a surprise charge of 78 to park for a week, yes, that one ticked me off. The units are independently owned and managed by several different companies which causes some issues. They are also still fighting which the insurance company to cover the hurricane damage. Not sure what’s going on with that, but several buildings nearby look fully repaired. They have sprayed cement on the steel beams holding up the entire building, but in my opinion as a retired engineer, it’s adding lipstick to a pig, and this pig is rusting badly, and at some point it will need major repairs or just torn down. The rear units which were built much later are not rusted as badly. In short, it’s ok to rent, but I would not even consider buying for more than a few year’s net rent income, because it’s days are numbered, probably the insurance fight.
