Fran's place was in the perfect location for us. The kitchen was updated and beautiful. We didn't cook anything due to it being a short trip. We enjoyed having tv's/cable in every room. We enjoyed the patio in the front of house and the balcony off the master bedroom. The single beds in second room were raved about for their comfort. Fran's place was clean. We went to Belmont amusement park about a 10 minute walk away. We used the electric scooters that were laying around everywhere to go further down the boardwalk. The zoo and USS midway museum about a 15 minute drive. We also went do dinner and breakfast at Cafe Coyote (loved the fresh made tortillas) in Old Town about a 10 minute drive away. The noise from the active area never bothered us, we prefer to stay in an active area finding it more interesting. It was cool enough that we didn't need to leave the doors open at night for a breeze so we slept well without noticing any noise at night. If you're a light sleeper and if it's warm enough that you need to leave doors open at night then the noise could bother you. I would highly recommend this place and location.
