You can't get a better location if you want to be within a couple of blocks of the main drag and the beach. If you are planning on staying in OB, you do not need a rental car. Even to go to downtown, you could get a Lyft for under $15. I stayed in unit #3 which was on the back side of the building and the entrance was behind a private fenced area that none of the other units had access to. I guess they could have come in there but it would have been strange if they did. This private outdoor sitting area, in a prime location, was the exact reason I choose this place. If you're a light sleeper, you can hear the people upstairs walking around but earplugs easily took care of that. After the third day I was used to it and didn't use earplugs and to my pleasant surprise, I woke up to the beautiful sounds of the wild parrots. Literally, dozens of gorgeous wild parrots live in the surrounding trees on that street. Doug was a professional Airbnb host who clearly had his processes dialed in like a well-oiled machine. You won't be disappointed.
