The positives: The apartment was in a great location with an easy walk to the beach and access to public transportation. The neighborhood had several great and affordable restaurants, and a grocery store.
The negatives: The apartment was loud. The stairs and doors were very loud at all times of night as people came and went. Construction was going on upstairs early in the morning.
We recommend for one or two people that want to party at the beach, but avoid if you are jet-lagged trying to catch up on sleep.
