The location is perfect. We spent equal time at the bay side and at the ocean side. There are a handful of restaurants within a 5 minute walking distance. Within a 10 minute walk are many more restaurants and shops.
The size and layoutof the unit itself is awesome. I stayed with just one friend but this place is definitely on my list if I ever have a larger group.
Communication was quick and easy there were a few minor issues that were easily addressed.
The neighborhood is not as busy as PB but being California, everyone is still stacked on top of each other, so it's pretty noisy. There are box fans that help drown it out.
... but when it quiets down at night you can sit on one of two gigantic patios and listen to the ocean waves.
