Miguel's place is affordable, convenient to freeways and beaches, and a few blocks from a small downtown area with lots of restaurants and stores. The apartment itself is quiet (other than some street noise) and has most of what you'd need for your stay; the parking a few blocks away is a huge bonus. Miguel was very responsive when we ran into some internet issues and offered to send out a tech; luckily, we figured it out and had a great stay. The neighborhood is definitely gentrifying, so people who are used to a small-town atmosphere may be a little uncomfortable. However, we found the area cool and interesting, and the neighbors we interacted with in the elevator were friendly.
