This units location is the best thing it has going for it by far. Its only a block from mission beach, and right next to the mission beach pier and restaurants. The view of the ocean you have is also nice, but what I found out that I couldn't tell from the pics, is that it is on a shared balcony with another neighbor unit (720). Not a huge deal if you have good neighbors, but I imagine it could be a deal breaker if one was unlucky. Inside, the unit is basically a small studio apartment. The kitchen has a small table for eating, and then a couch and a bed and dresser, and that's pretty much it. The bed was surprisingly comfy to sleep on, and the sheets and pillows were fine. This positive however was overshadowed by the fact that it was sitting on what looked like was a handmade, jerry-rigged wooden platform sitting over 4ft + off the ground. If you're strong enough, you could conceivably pull yourself up and then push yourself onto the platform from the ground, but I would honestly question if that much weight on the edge would cause it to fall apart. What you will likely end up having to do, is use the couch sitting right below and beside it, to first stand on there and then climb up on to the bed. This is obviously not only incredibly annoying, but if you have a mis-step climbing down in the middle of the night it could be pretty dangerous. The WiFi appears to be shared between this unit and at least one another (as the password of the Wifi was the address of the neighboring unit, and I couldn't find a router anywhere in my unit). Its okay for sending some emails or browsing the web (slowly), but you cant really watch Netflix or Youtube or any streaming video. Maybe if you use it at 2AM when no one else is using it you'll have some luck. All of the appliances (microwave, fridge, oven) literally looked around 20+ years old. I was honestly pretty impressed that they were still working. They are functional, but you might have some issues. The TV is newer (25 inch, 1080p) but it was basically useless because it looked like the cable TV package only included around 10 or so actual channels. I'm an IT professional, so it definitely was not an issue of being on the wrong input or channel. As far as noise, you are in the heart of mission beach, so its common to have neighbors playing music at reasonable yet still audible levels and/or talking sometimes later into the night. This wouldn't be as much of an issue as it is, if you didn't have to keep all of the windows to the unit wide open at night to maintain a reasonably comfortable temperature. I stayed during October too, so I imagine visiting during peak tourist season during the summer would...
