I stayed here for three months, mid-January through mid-April 2015. Here are the 7 things I liked and the 4 things I disliked:

Seven things I liked:

1. Although it's a matter of personal preference, I thought the king size bed was very comfortable.
2. The owner has surfboards which he generously allowed me to use.
3. Compared to other rentals in the area, I thought the price was super reasonable.
4. The place is less than two blocks from the beach.
5. I enjoyed the big flat screen TV with HBO, Showtime and other premium movie channels and a DVD that records stuff.
6. The place is within walking distance of everything I wanted (beach, restaurants, laundromats, grocery store, drug store, etc.)
7. I like the way the room is situated inside a gated courtyard. I felt very secure leaving the sliding patio door open at night.

Four things I disliked:

1. The bathroom and "kitchenette" are in the same physical room. There are times when this is, well, unpleasant.
2. The hot water doesn't last very long, so showers had to be quick.
3. The owners have three small dogs that constantly did their business in the courtyard area walkways, but the owners tended to not get around to cleaning it up promptly, sometimes three to four days at a time. Cautious sidestepping annoying after a while.
4. The owner has some storage units or something similar located on the other side of bedroom wall. Occasionally, he awakened me at odd hours of the night, banging around out there.
