Chic Studio in Condado | Beach at Your Doorstep

All good

Well located apartment building in Condado, though slightly older place, the unit itself is clean and updated. The bed was very comfortable, and the view is incredible. You can hear the ocean waves very clearly in the room even with the windows closed, it was very nice white noise for sleeping and relaxing. The electric circuit is easily overloaded so just be mindful of the amount of things plugged in at once, but the breaker was reset easily. Coffee machine was a little tricky to use, some instructions would've been useful, otherwise the kitchen is small but suited our needs. Air conditioner is very strong and perfect for the tropical hot weather. Building has own private beach and pool which is nice. Also walkable go many cafes restaurants and markets! However, communication with the hosts was a bit on the slow side.

Great location on the beach, everything was in walking distance.

Great location on the beach.

When we checked in there were 3 bags of dirty towels & linens on the ground by the kitchen. I sent the host a message to let them know about the linens and see what they want me to do with them, ask if we have an assigned parking spot, and what the wifi name & password are. We received no response so we left the condo and came back 3 hours later. The bags of linens were gone when we returned. We didn’t receive a notification that anyone would be entering the condo before they entered, so that was a little unsettling. We did end up receiving a response 4 hours after inquiring about the few things. By that time, we’d found out from security that the apartment doesn’t have a parking spot, but don’t worry he’ll take 20 (cash only - that went straight in his pocket) to let you park.The building doesn’t seem secure. There are padlocked bars on a lot of the other apartment doors and security isn’t strict. We didn’t have to tell security who we were, they just opened the gate for us to park without talking to us. We accidentally entered through the wrong door the first time we entered the building so we didn’t pass by building security either. There were at least 3 unlocked doors on the front of the building that don’t require passing by security. Even if you pass security through the main door, they don’t ask questions. A couple of the electrical plugs didn’t work, anything you plug in falls right out. The windows aren’t sealed so the ocean and wind outside are reallyyy loud.
