Small, clean, one-bedroom, first floor beach apartment in exceptional location 2 blocks off Newport Ave in OB. Private locked gate leads into complex of 3 2-story apartment buildings. Lots of creaking if guests above unit are noisy ... not the case during my stay. For the uninitiated to OB, be prepared for the jets taking off from the San Diego Airport starting each morning at 6:30am. Not a problem for me as I'm an early riser.
