Not all rooms alike
While many guests liked their accommodations, others found the condos they were renting to be sorely lacking in comfort due to their dated interior. They noted that the mattresses would sag, the furniture was worn, the sliding doors didn't all work, and some of the appliances were broken or malfunctioning. They also noted that beside the dated décor, there was evidence of mold in the bathrooms.
negative:
Housekeeping hit or miss
Some guests noted that the floors had not been cleaned when they first checked in, and some of the kitchens weren't completely clean. There were some stains on the bedding, and a few even found leftover trash.

Know whom you book with
As several guests concluded, there is a great discrepancy between units booked through the owners or through the official owners association. The latter seems to be a bit better in keeping its units up to date and clean, so the association would probably be your best bet.
