Our family of 4 stayed for 9 days over the holiday break and it was perfect. The apartment and the building itself are older and need a bit of maintenance, but everything inside the unit was pretty clean, new showers, firm and comfortable beds, clean new couch and a great location - 5 min walk to the beach, a small bodega across the street, Ralphs a 2 min drive away and lots of small restaurants nearby. And the gas fireplace came in handy as it was unusually cold and rainy during our stay. One thing to note: if you plan on cooking a lot, this is not the best place for it, as the stove has really old electric coils and there are just a handful old pots and pans. However, we never cook while on vacation, so this was not an issue for us. Overall, this was a great deal for the money and Ceren was exceptionally responsive and helpful.
