The location is fantastic - great spot in between the ocean and bay and easy walking distance to almost everything. The bikes were a great addition when we wanted to venture out further and explore. Keep in mind that this unit is ground level and there is anothe apartment above you. The walls are so thin you hear every conversation, footstep and "activity" going on above you. You're also right on the alley, so you will hear everyone walking/driving by. Ear plugs are a must for a pleasant sleep!
