This apartment has some big pros, but also some downsides.
The location is as good as it looks in the listing- right by the beach and the pier. You have a great view from the apartment as well as the shared roof deck. The apartment itself is pretty nice, basic but everything is in good shape, and spacious for a studio.
There are a few downsides it’s worth mentioning. The area and building are fairly noisy. Often that’s just a low hum, but sometimes that’s music from performers by the beach or just someone randomly shouting (the latter could happen at almost any time, day or night). Closing the windows blocks a lot of noise, but in the summer at least, you’ll probably want them open since there’s no AC. You’ll also hear noises from the roof deck since that’s just above, mostly heavy footsteps and furniture being dragged around. Finally, one of the neighbors likes to play their music very loud- I talked to them a couple times and they did turn it down a bit but weren’t thrilled about it.
Finally the management company isn’t super responsive, especially on nights and weekends. There is a onsite manager you could probably get help from. Fortunately I didn’t have any major issues but it’s something to be aware of.
Overall, there’s still a lot to like but I probably wouldn’t stay again due to the noise. If that’s not something that bothers you much, you’ll likely have a great time.
