Air conditioned studio close to free parking, shopings and beaches

Coming from US, I believe that we fully know what it means to have air conditioning. We rented this small apartment not so much because of the location but because it specified that there was air conditioning. Upon arrival we looked for it but to our dismay, there was a ... fan (so noisy that we could not sleep with it on) and a little machine which only moved around some air (supposedly cool)! We had to close the metallic shade and leave the door open thru the night. W/ 100 degrees it was extremely uncomfortable and not an honest representation. We used our own dishes and left everything very clean. We still expect to get back our full security deposit.
