Proximity to the beach was wonderful. Space was just as described. On street parking was easy and very close. Upstairs neighbors were very friendly. The noise level was really a non-issue. We were gone most of the day (when we checked in around 4:00 PM that was really the only time we heard heavy foot traffic). We didn't hear them at night or early morning so I wouldn't let that deter you from renting this cozy space. Plus the hosts are available and easy to contact. A great vacation!
