You couldn't have a better location. This unit does not have a view and is priced accordingly. Although you're in the middle of the action, there wasn't the noise I expected. A little early morning restaurant cleaning noise, but totally within reason. Appliances were new, bed comfy, more than enough towels, etc. Location wise, nothing beats it. Literally directly across from the pier and the main beach in OB. Easy walk to dog beach and the apartment was dog friendly. Although they state in the listing no ac, it is listed in the amenities which was important to me. It wasn't great (I think that's why they state 'No ac" in the listing), but it definitely kept the apartment reasonably cool in a week that was off the charts hot. Great stay, would definitely stay again. Let me rephrase that..we will stay there again!
