Great, comfortable stay near the beach! I made sure to read all the reviews and description - so I personally loved the outdoor shower. You share a courtyard, but I barely saw the other guests, and my dog loved to lay in the sunshine. The neighborhood is nice, but the general vibe is that they aren't super keen on airbnb or 'strangers' so just a head's up there is a lot of repeated guidance around this. I stayed just with my dog, but was not allowed to greet friends beyond the alley, and even then felt uncomfortable doing so. Other than the heavy neighborhood watch feel, I think the stay is just what you need if you want to be close to the beach.
