This apartment is in a very good location close to beach and shopping precinct. We were out most of the day but home at night. The kitchen is shared with Tomokos parents, which was okay, they are very nice but are actually staying in the apartment with you. The place was very clean, shower good and the bed comfortable. It was good value for an expensive area in California. If you are planning to eat breakfast or one meal at the apartment, you really need a vehicle to access fresh food, as this is not close by. A good place to eat for a healthy meal at reasonable prices is Tender Greens on Arizona ave
