This was a really fantastic place to stay, steps away from the beach and the bay. The apartment is clean, well organized, with comfortable beds and pillows, a full kitchen, including a little espresso machine! The keyless entry made going to the beach so easy and relaxing, as did the host's inclusion of beach chairs and an umbrella. There are so many places to eat and visit nearby, it's really a very ideal location in Mission Beach. As is noted in some of the other reviews, this apartment is near a main road, but I have to add this was not a problem for us. We had one light and one heavy sleeper. If you are a light sleeper, you will do well to take the back bedroom with the air conditioner, or bring a white noise machine. I used both as I am an extremely light sleeper and I slept very soundly with few interruptions. The other bedroom has the TV and a window that opened, which worked well for our heavy sleeper. The shower and tub are just as described - older, but clean and functional. I would highly recommend this place-- the location can't be beat, you have everything you need, and the hosts are very responsive. Will stay again!
