My second time staying at this wonderful place. Besides the apartment being fitted with everything you will need, the location is spectacular. A nice reasonably quiet neighborhood. If you keep the windows open like I mostly did, you will hear peak hour traffic. But this dies down in the evenings. I had no problems sleeping. Easy access to public transportation, easy walk to stores, plenty of cafes (you will find one in every direction you can go from this apartment) for coffee and breakfast, restaurants of every ethnicity close by. If walking, go down a side street or two and you will probably find a shortcut to where you want to go and a lovely neighborhood stroll. Took in a festival, a couple of sporting events, the beach and the cultural sites using public transport. I highly recommend this place.
