don't think we know the whole story and actually where you were staying........
but I lived on two different lanes on the Cliffs and never had a problem and me been going a long time...........
$250 a week is $1000 a month which is living very large as there are rooms/apartments for $400+ a month......
you can stay at like the Mariner on the beach which is the high rent district and that is $900 a month all in..........
so if anything the $250 week was a bit of tiefing in itself if it was away from the beach.......
