The property is in a great location. The check in process of having a specific time to meet a person to obtain entry was frustrating.Finding parking to be able to meet the “check in” person is nearly impossible. I could have easily entered the building at any time when other tenants entered, but there was a fine if you did. Thankfully there were 2 of us and my husband could just keep circling the block until I came back out with key fob and parking pass for the garage. I have never encountered such specific rules from a property. We were afraid to use the pool for fear of “not showering properly” and receiving a fine. The weather during our stay had temperatures in the upper 80’s.The apartment gets all the west sun in the afternoon and really heats up. The apartment AC is a stand alone floor unit that is vented through the bedroom window, so no way to open bedroom window. The AC only cools the bedroom. There is no TV in the bedroom. The living room has very sparse furnishings, a chair and a broken couch, neither are for comfort. The washer and dryer in the unit was a big plus as we were at the end of our 2 week west coast vacation. Check out came with another round of emails with rules and potential fines. Check out is ridiculous. They want the keys, fob, and parking pass left on the counter and then take a picture and send it to them. I recommend pulling your car out of garage first. This was our 6th accommodation of the 14 day trip and our least favorite.
