The home is very charming and in a great location near the beach. Most places to eat are a few to several blocks walking distance. If you are a coffee fan, there is a very nice Starbucks very close. With the California temps, we found the walking enjoyable.
The home is on street level and for us the lively city noises were white noise aside from the occasional loud music, siren or loud person walking by.
It took my family and me a couple of nights to figure out the best way to use the fans and windows to sleep comfortably. The best windows to have open are also the windows to the street.
We enjoyed our stay and would stay again, especially now that we have experience with parking, etc.
