Ivan's place is clean and has all the amenities including lots of bath towels, beach equipment and toiletries. Check-in is easy and quick. The location is great, you are a block from the beach and a block from the downtown area of OB. It is important to note that this is on a busy street and above a liquor store so there are lots of noisy cars going by and people in front of your doorway (down the stairs) from morning until night. This didn't bother me as it was to be expected but my mom noted the noise. Also, as indicated there is no parking so on the weekends it is hard to find a spot and you can park at his other property 3-4 blocks away or drive around and find a spot which on busy days is still often 3-4 blocks away. This might be hard for people with a lot of stuff to haul and young ones. Overall I would stay here again as the location is perfect and we love OB.
