The lighting in the living room was provided by two wall sconces. These lights did not provide enough lighting for reading. Also, the walls are thin so you will hear your neighbors. Fortunately, the neighbors were considerate and not loud. Despite the two drawbacks, I thought that the apartment was worth the cost. The interior was not fancy but had everything that you needed. The location is 1/2 block from the beach and two blocks from the main street so the location is ideal.
