Reviewer Comments:
We had reviewed the listing and settled on the location being great, which it was perfect in terms of location. The Jacuzzi sounded nice but never worked. The unit is advertised as a penthouse – it is not. It is on the 3rd floor and on the 4th floor is a common pool and each unit has a patio space on the rooftop. The condo was ok at best. The AC in one room never worked and only cooled by recirculating cooled air from the other 2 units. We had to request wash cloths, and only after the 4th day did we get the promised second key to the building, upon arrive we received 2 condo keys but only 1 to the building, each day we were told they would get us one, only not receive anything nor was the AC or Jacuzzi ever fixed. The building door was locked all during the day but at night there was a doorman so we managed. We travel twice a year and rent condos like this normally, one thing missing was spices, extra towels, TP, detergent, paper towels... We had to make a shopping trip to get a dish towel, dish detergent, dish rag, paper towels, toilet paper, salt, etc. I suppose the unit was a pure rental and the owner never stayed there because it was surely bare bones. Given the chance, I would stay in the building but not that unit. So if you want to be in the center of 5th Ave and a couple blocks from the beach – it is great for that – if you want a cool restful night of sleep consider other options. One final note – the restaurant across the street has live music Friday nights that plays until 2AM – even with the shutters closed you can hear the music.
