The best thing about this place is its proximity to beach and the canals. Both are literally steps away. This unit is probably the least favorable in the building so if you can spring for it I would chose another. Otherwise if you aren't too sensitive to sounds and smells, as there is an odor that got pretty annoying to me as it's in the basement, then this unit is a decent value. The trash cans are literally outside your bedroom window so there were occasional dumpster divers and foot traffic through the canals but not too much street noise. The trash pickup is however LOUD so be prepared for that when they come to collect. I felt pretty safe in the building and immediate surrounding area traveling solo. I have since moved to a different unit in the building and feel much better about the overall experience. You really cannot beat the location! Communication with the host and maintenance has been overall pleasant as they have been willing to assist with any of my concerns and requests. Would recommend the location but unit #3 is probably the bottom of the barrel as far as units they have available, if you can spend more for another I would.
