Nice location to enjoy the beach - just a 10 minute walk (with kids). Also easy to catch the bus for a 30+ minute ride to one of the downtown markets or plazas. The area is quiet (besides some construction but that's to be expected) and very walkable. The apartment itself has a very cool design feel - it was really nice how there were different areas for our family of 4 to spread out and enjoy - although the wifi only worked well on the first floor in the living room area. Lots of light brought in as well and it was nice and cool even thought it was very hot outside. We appreciated being able to check-in early (especially with kids) but were a little disappointed there weren't any beach accessories (we ended up buying some and leaving there for another family to enjoy) or extra towels. This is our second time staying in this neighborhood and would recommend it for a family that wants to enjoy the beach.
