This is a solid budget option, and you get what you pay for so keep that in mind! Bikes make it easy to get wherever you need to go and the place is clean and cozy, but the neighborhood itself can be noisy (music and barking dogs) though a slower pace than the center of town. The “west beach” near the apartment is more of a bog or marsh where people dump their trash, so there is a faint smell and numerous sand flies that bite when there’s no wind.
