Close to the Strand. Parking is a little bothersome but overall not too bad. Stairs are a little rough with baggage so if you have mobility issues this is not for you. We definitely enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again

The location is very close to downtown shops, restaurants and the sea which was the advantage of the apartment. However, it was unfortunate that they don’t offer parking and we had to pay for street parking. Sometimes it was also more difficult to find parking throughout the day when coming back to the apartment. I also wish we knew that their elevator wasn’t working since we had our toddler it was difficult to bring things up and down and also carry our stroller up and down. I will also say the walls were very transparent and you could hear all the noise outdoors and in the hallways. The cleanliness of the apartment was okay, the toilet seat wasn’t completely clean but we just ended up cleaning the bathroom ourselves since we already do that whenever we stay at places.

Relaxing Getaway

The property is an antique, with updated features. If your interests are old flooring, sinks, doors, and windows this space is exactly for you. The air conditioner worked great. The shower was perfect and the water gets very hot. The provided towels were thick and luxurious. The bed was comfortable. The 2-1 washer dryer was an added bonus. However, no elevator so be prepared to carry luggage and other belongings up the stairs. Not far from pleasure pier or cruise port. Perfect stay!

Overall as expected. It is an old building downtown, very nice ambiance for the experience I thought we were signing up for (old apartment building). I thought the couch was going to be a fold out with a bed, it was not and there were not additional sheets. I had brought my own so it wasn't a big deal, just that the 3 sleeping option is just the couch, not actually a bed. The check in and communication were great. The host was very attentive.

Beachbox Stay

We really enjoyed the location and the architecture of the old building. We also liked the visual appeal of the room and the neighbors we got to meet and have a quick chat with.The couch and bed were uncomfortable and both my wife and I had a difficult time relaxing and sleeping. Some of the windows do not have window coverings and let in a lot of light, and the blinds that cover the other windows do not close all the way and let in light.If those concerns were addressed we would stay here again. We really enjoyed being in the downtown area and walking distance from so many restaurants, art galleries, and shops.

Weekend getaway

The loft was nice overall. A few things that need improvement. Parking, check-in and the bed. Parking-We were notified a day or two before check-in that there was no onsite parking. I have never stayed in a building that did not provide parking. There clearly was parking for residents but we were not allowed access so we had an additional 60 to park in a lot a block or two away from the building. Check-in-It was made very clear that there was no early check-in, (which was fine because we planned to park and explore the are until check-in) and that we would be sent instructions at the check-in time. Well that time came and went and still no instructions so I had to call the property manage, she was very nice and was able to get us in the building and into the loft.Bed-very uncomfortableUltimately we checked-out early, the night before, because the bed was so uncomfortable.

quick getaway

Only stayed one night instead of two nights. Should have been more CLEARLY on where the first entrance is to get in the building. Had hard time finding paying park spot nearby. Although building is old which is expected, floor creaks every single time. Mattress is uncomfortable, probably because there is no boxspring underneath it and I could feel the wood rails. Couple positive notes- location is not too far from the strand at all. Beautiful decor inside. Couch could be replaced for sure.
