The apartment looks exactly as pictured - no surprises there. It's small but very clean and cozy. It is apparent that the owner takes pride in her rental and goes out of her way to make sure her guests are comfortable and happy.
The location could not be any better! Beautiful white sand beach is literally a block away (huge off-leash dog beach is to the right!); there is a lovely paved walkway along the beach for jogging, biking or walking; lively main street with plenty of restaurants, bars, shops and a supermarket is a short walk away (the super-nice and responsive owner gave us heads up about Farmers Market on Wednesday evenings! Much appreciated and enjoyed - thank you!!)
Everything was great and we were very happy with our stay. The one and only (minor) negative is that the ceilings/floors are extremely thin and every footstep sounds magnified (old building, it is what it is). Upper unit might be less noisy as far as other guests go. But we could not hear ANY traffic or street noise, therefore the loud steps above us in the middle of the night were not really that big of a deal :)
Overall, this was a great find and we cannot wait to go back. Thank you!
