The photos are very accurate. The entrance is the front yard. The front yard was the best, my dog loved it and it had 3 different areas to sit where I could use my computer. Martin's place is about a 10 min walk to Rosie's dog beach which was great. The beach itself is across two streets. Parking was fine but if I got there later then 7pm I would have to park on the next street or down the street. There was also a liquor store very close, maybe a 5 min walk down the alley way. The entire apartment was very clean, and it had many plates and utensils. The stove was great , the sink was very nice, and the shower had great water pressure. This area has many homes without a yard because of how close together the homes are. My french bulldog and I loved the yard and how the front yard was setup. Being on the first floor I did hear footsteps above but it was not too bad. The only thing I wasn't able to use was the washer machine/dryer, it was located in a separate room with a lock, I didn't get a chance to ask for the pin to the lock. Overall I would definitely stay here again, especially with having the front yard and the beach just a walk away. Martin's place is 5 stars all around .
