The apartment is in a great location only 2 blocks from the beach and the pier. The layout works well, has only a small table upstairs to eat on but there are nice TV dinner trays that we used a lot. The parking in the back was great. It rained a lot of the time during our stay so we didn't use the patio but its a nice addition. The bathrooms are both very nice and have good water pressure. It is located right on Pacific Coast Highway so it is a very busy (and noisy) street during the day, but calms down at night. We're from the city so we don't mind the noise but others might who aren't used to it might. CVS and 7-Eleven are right across the street and some cute restaurants nearby. Our favorite was Lupita's Mexican restaurant, they have the best mango margaritas! Also the Cozy Cafe is literally right next door that serves great breakfast and lunch diner food. Overall I think this is a great apartment for the value and area. Kurt was also a very responsive host and addressed any issues we had right away, thanks again!
