Great location - best of both worlds -- within steps from the beach and also to the downtown restaurants, shops, farmer's market, movies with all that energy of people walking, exercising, relaxing and even dancing at the nearby promenade.
The apartment is a bit dated but spacious. It has a comfortable King size bed and generous closet space. Noise was not an issue - we stayed during the week.
Silvio was a gracious host and easy to reach -- he took immediate action when there was a minor problem in the bathroom but otherwise respected our privacy.
We enjoyed our stay and would recommend the place particularly to people who value its central location.
