Starting with the positives, this place is in a quiet neighborhood and the location is fantastic. Super easy and convenient to walk to Vons, nearby restaurants, parks, and to take a stroll along the beach. Being dog friendly is also a plus. The hosts were easily to communicate with and attentive.
The not so positives - there is a unit directly above and sound carried very easily. I'm surprised that there aren't more comments about this in the reviews. If you are a light sleeper, come prepared. If you're unlucky and have guests above who are night owls, be ready to hear constant footsteps all night long even with earplugs in. The bedroom with the queen bedroom is the loudest one, but the bedroom with the full size bed is not as noisy. You just to sacrifice bed size with noise.
