Location can not be topped! We were just a couple blocks from the beach with parking! A rare find. We usually entered via the garage on the ground floor. The garage is also where the laundry is located as well as one the half bath. Off the garage is a large living room with TV and a space heater. Up one tall flight of stairs is the main apartment loft with two bedrooms, a full bath, a kitchen, and a smaller living area. We had a two year old with us, so keeping her from tumbling down the stairs required us to buy in a child gate. (She easily jumped over the one provided). There is a good heater in the upstairs living area, and if you keep the bedroom doors open it will keep the rooms warm at night. If you close them, it can be quite chilly as they don't have their own heat. We never used the balcony because it was rainy and cold most of our 20 days. I could see it being really lovely on a warm day. All in all, it's a nice spot with unparalleled location and did I mention a garage? That's number one for anyone who has a car in the area.
