This is a very quiet space in a nice safe neighborhood. The unit is clean and roomy. There is a beautiful garden you enter through on the ground floor. The owners are upstairs and they are very quiet. You are across the street from Stern Grove park. We were always able to find street parking close by the unit. It is an easy walk to the Lake Shore Plaza shopping center where there is a Lucky supermarket, along with a number of eateries and shops. The Sunset supermarket on Vincente has cheaper produce and caters to the Asian market. The beach and zoo are about a mile away. There are several great Chinese restaurants within easy walking distance. I would recommend The Dumpling Kitchen and the Islamic Chinese restaurant as my favorites. Traffic is generally easy to navigate in the area if you prefer driving but walking is safe and I never felt threatened.
