The apartment was as described and Doug checked in by email several times to make sure our stay was going well. We stayed for 8 nights and the things we found inconvenient would probably not have bothered us at all if our stay had been shorter, or if we were visiting family in the area and they had a car. Doug let us know that parking was difficult in the area and that after residents got home from work it would be hard to find a parking spot. He was correct. We were gone many days until evening and we ended up parking 4 to 5 blocks away on a few occasions. Also when you look at the pictures of the apartment you don't think about where you are going to lounge around after a long day of sightseeing. The options were on the bed or in a straight back chair. Just a few things to consider if you are going to be there for a longer period of time. The location is great as you can easily walk to restaurants, the pier and the beach.
