The apartment itself has been renovated. It is very nice. It could use an A/C unit in the master bedroom to be able to close the door and have privacy. The master bathroom would also benefit from having that additional A/C. The area around the apartment looks scary. It is not. You can walk back from your restaurant at night without problems. We actually had an amazing dinner at one of the restaurants located maybe a couple of blocks away. Lots of breakfast, lunch, and dinner restaurants within a 4 block radius. Beach is a short 7 minute walk away.
