positives: great communication from host and wonderful central location; walkable to everything—shopping, food, and the ocean. comfortable beds. negatives: elevator was down and apparently, has been notoriously out of service the past year. every time we drove, had to climb 7 flights of stairs (parking is 3 floors down), so would not recommend for someone with limited mobility. fire station across the street and lots of homeless, so very loud at all hours and didn’t always feel safe walking around. this isn’t the place for people who aren’t used to “city living.” overall, the great location trumped most negative factors, but just fyi for people who may be affected by them.
