The location is truly amazing, just 1 block from the beach and boardwalk. The unit was clean and stylish, and Dan even left us a little basket of snacks which we demolished with joy during our various outings around town and to the zoo. You can walk to countless restaurants and bars nearby, and of course the beach is literally steps away. The only downside of the location is that it is right by Mission Blvd at an intersection - while you'd think that being at a four-way stop would be great because it slows down traffic, in reality it means that you hear twice as much noise from everyone accelerating from the stop sign! Since there is no A/C in the unit, and still pretty warm in September when we visited, we had to keep the windows open which made it unpleasantly loud to relax during the day and hard to sleep at night. That was really the only downside though, so if you're not bothered by traffic noise and want to be right by the beach you'll be ecstatic with your stay!
