The apartment is beautifully appointed and it's great being right across the street from the beach. The garage side of the place is pretty run down looking with random garbage strewn around, but luckily the apartment made up for that. Expect misty, gray weather--a welcome break from the sun after coming from SoCal in July! Having a garage was great. Wish there had been some kind of 'welcome' message in the apartment with pertinent information like the wifi password and contact number listed--every other Airbnb I've stayed in had at least this, and usually some suggested neighborhood places to visit and some kind of snack--but it was a minor inconvenience.
