Tara's place is in a great location, convenient to the beach, a great coffee truck and deli. Even though it's on a busy main street, because it's in the back, it's quiet at night. In the morning you definitely hear the planes, but you would anywhere in OB since it's in the flight path. There are a bunch of stairs to access the apartment, as described in the write-up, so if you have heavy luggage be ready to schlep it. Once you get it it's cozy and nicely furnished, and the beds are really comfy. Heater was a great help since it was chilly while we were there.
