Location, location, location! Very clean (which is very important to me). Good heating (I'm always worried about being cold and damp when I travel, but this was really cosy). Comfortable bed with a bedside reading lamp (on both sides, although I only needed one). A good bathtub! The microwave and coffee-maker were all I needed for my requisite coffee with hot milk immediately upon waking. I know Kits and would never stay anywhere else, and this part of Kits is particularly ideal. Walk to beach. Whole Foods a block away for prepared lunches (pop some delicious soup in the microwave for a midnight snack), yummy fruit, pastries, etc if you want. Le Comptoir French cafe on the corner (my fave! but note closed Mon and Tues). Would I prefer a brighter apartment? Sure (but it's as advertised so it wasn't a surprise). A kitchen for a longer stay? Definitley (also as advertised). But for my four-day stay, during which I was out most of the time, it checked all the boxes. Oh, and some folks complained about noise, but I didn't find that a problem at all, and I'm pretty sensitive to noise. The very occasional upstaris sounds, but minimal and non-instrusive.
