The location of Brian's place is stellar. We are budget-conscious travelers who were looking to stay as close to the beach as possible, and this provided stellar bang for our buck. It's a five-minute walk from the door to the ocean. The bed is comfortable, the bathroom gets the job done, and the amenities like a fridge and microwave are a nice touch.
As other reviews have mentioned, the unit is generally clean but not hotel-quality. In a few places throughout the bathroom we found stray hairs from previous guests, and the floor dirtied our bare feet. Those imperfections are a small price to pay for being RIGHT BY THE BEACH. If this was a more expensive place to stay, I might expect higher standards, but I would stay here again.
