Our host was supportive, and the apartment was clean, but gosh this building needs some serious work!! Broken windows in the hallway, out of service elevators, rust coming through the paint, front door doorframe rotting, chunks of concrete missing on exterior walls... The lock on the door to the beach broke while we were there so yes building admin just locked the gate closed. I'm sure these were awesome apartments when they were built in the 70s, but they seem to be falling apart.While the interior of the apartment is cute, you can tell it's just on the superficial level. I would be very concerned about staying here during big weather events, earthquakes, etc...
