The apartment is located in a historical building that is really fun to walk around and look at. The elevator was a highlight of the stay and looks original to the building that was built in 1930s. The apartment was very basic and in a great location walking distance to various restaurants and the beach. The manager was quick to respond and even delivered extra linens within the hour of being notified we needed them. The inside of the apartment and building is VERY quiet, we were unsure if anyone else lived there, which was great. There is a bit of a wild parrot situation in Southern California and being a lighter sleeper noticed them in the mornings when our windows were open. Less noticeable when windows closed. For the price, location and character of the building not sure it can be beat!
