My wife and I had a great four-night stay here. The size of this studio is perfect (and seemingly intended) for one or two people, and the location to the nearby ocean and boardwalk a few minutes' walk away can't be beaten. The kitchenette is full-featured and very convenient when eating in. The patio with easy-to-start gas bonfire provided a great additional "room" for stretching out in.
The bed is on the firmer side (though not in a bad way. A sleeper requiring the plushest of pillow tops may find it a little too firm). In regards to ambience, the sounds of the hosts living above did not bother us in the slightest, but two white-noise machines are in the room if needed.
The hosts provided a local guidebook that was very helpful with several suggestions, though like us you may still find yourself eating multiple times at the Mexican restaurant across the street (which was in the guidebook). A large grocery store, something that is always handy to have nearby, is just a few blocks away. Lyft and Uber rides to downtown were typically $15-20; trips to the zoo and airport were similarly priced.
All in all, a terrific stay in a terrific location for us.
