This space worked out really well for my needs. I found the kitchen to be adequate for making basic breakfast and lunch. The main living areas of the apartment have a lot of sunlight and that is a great feature.
I found the only downside was parking. I managed to find parking every night on the street but I averaged 30 mins looking. I was most successful on the blocks surrounding Alamitos/Atlantic/3rd/4th.
Check out the city parking website for decoding the painted curbs.
The apartment is walking distance to grocery stores, shops and the oceanfront.
