Our stay was great, no complications with check in or out; place was clean other than the shower curtain liner needing to be changed. It is 100 feet from stairs that lead to the “beach”. The stairs lead to a rocky area that can only be accessed at low tide; but from there you can reach a beach or the Ocean Beach pier. We were there in January so the beach wasn’t priority. Centrally located restroom in the apartment is great if staying with friends or just need it in common area. Would recommend staying here.
