Great location, one block from several great coffee shops, bakeries, and restaurants (serving dinner until roughly 11:15pm). Although the apartment building is right above the busy boulevard, the large windows seal well and heavy curtains block out the light in the morning if desired. There is almost no traffic from midnight-7am.
Good water pressure and shower temperature with clean white towels provided. The washer/dryer machine in the bathroom closet works well (provide your own soap), but takes about 6 hours for a full cycle, making quiet, but distinctive singing tones throughout (don't run it at night if you are a very light sleeper).
During our visit, the elevator/lift was not in service, but the beautifully clean white marble lobby had a small number of stairs to reach the 1st floor. We did have a problem with noise during the day, as the first morning we had very loud construction noise (60+dB, so loud you couldn't carry on a conversation and needed earplugs to walk in the hall/stairs) from the neighboring apartment from 8am-1:30pm continuously. We checked in with the managers by email, and they were able to improve the situation the next day: only noise (and less loud, think hammering rather than drilling/sanding) from 10am-1pm. Bring earplugs and clarify exactly when you need to sleep in/work if that is an issue.
Very clean, with a fantastic location, balcony view, great wifi, and only one block from the beach/marina (south) and from the streetcars that connect to the Metro (north). Fantastic view right across the street of the lovely Franciscan church with its historic bell tower, ringing the hours and quarter hours. Will return.
