I would say know who you are and what you want. I had a great to fantastic time staying at Beverly's place. It was literally 50 feet from the beach. It was a great launch pad for hitting all the fun spots in OB. Walking distance to the Wonderland, Mikes Taco club, the OB Noodle House etc. If you want to sit in a flat and people watch or entertain friends this is not for you. If you want a place to crash and explore the town then its great.
