Had a great stay at this unit. It is super clean, very updated and has a lot of great touches, even a nice snack basket for you and another for your dog. Dog bowls included in case you forgot yours. Having a washer and dryer was key and with street parking not guaranteed around there, having a private garage to put our car in was amazing. As far as the location, I am not sure you can get any better. Literally, just a few steps from the door is the beach and just to the right through the parking lot is Dog Beach. We spent a lot of time at Dog Beach, both at high tide and low tide and our dog had a blast. Whether you are there with your dog, surfing for beach volleyball or to have an evening fire on the beach, this location and this condo could not better. It is a short walk down Abbott St, to Newport St and to other great restaurants in the neighborhood. I highly recommend this unit for a short-term or even a longer term stay.
