Location is the best thing. So close to the rail station, the grocery store, the beach, etc. It is true, the apt. is loud with street noise especially during commute times. The door is 3 feet off the road! but once we went to bed, no problem. The bedroom is in the back of the apartment. The bed is super comfortable as are the pillows, a pet peeve of mine. Apt could be more user-friendly-- there was no laundry detergent,, bath soap, paper towels, only 2 rolls of TP for a week, and no dishwashing soap. We bought and left dishwashing liquid, TP and papertowels. I know we probably could have asked Jose 's mother for these things but it seemed too petty. Still, all in all, a fabulous experience.
