We enjoyed our stay. The place appears exactly as shown in the pictures. The kitchen was sparkling clean and so was the bathroom. Bed was comfy but if you are used to a king size bed may be a bit snug. Location is perfect for a strolling along Second Street. I recommend the tacos and the acai bowls if you are looking for quick but satisfying meals. The beach was a short walk away. I did several short runs and a 13.1 miler along the boardwalk at the beach. The night life is lively especially on Friday night but did not overwhelm us. There was minimal street noice once inside the studio. There is no patio and not much in the way of outdoor seating but we didn't miss it. John was a great host and very responsive.
