The apartment is awesome. It's like a little private oasis. It has everything you would need when staying in a home. The bed is very comfortable. The kitchen has whatever you need. The courtyard is so quiet and inviting. It's a short walk to the beach and just a little longer walk (1/2 to 3/4 mile) to Shoreline Village where there are many shops and restaurants. Across the street from there is more shopping and restaurants and the convention center. We used Lyft and Uber to get around everywhere else which was a piece of cake.
