Located on the 17'th floor, the views over Isla Verde beach are fantastic. The apartment really looks and feels like someones vacation home, which I prefer over the sterile feeling of a hotel. It may need some new paint, but that is purely cosmetic. Unlike the building itself which feels like it could make a great set for a depressing sci-fi or horror movie.
The only major downside of the apartment are all the loud fans from air conditioning units (both in the building itself and from neighbouring buildings) - if you are not used to it, bring earplugs, and if you are used to it you will probably not notice it enough to care. The beach club next door appears to play loud music on weekends that is so loud that everything in the room vibrates even with all doors closed. Thankfully it stops by 8pm. And until the pool below is repaired, expect jackhammers on and off from 8am to 5pm on weekdays. You hear surprisingly little from the airport though, as the building itself shields from that noise.
Other than that, it is a really nice apartment with fantastic views, comfortable bed, useful kitchen, good bathroom, free parking in parking garage, close to restaurants as well as a supermarket, and friendly host that was easy to communicate with. Would not hesitate to stay here again - after the pool has been repaired.
