Great spot, easy walk to the beach. You do have to cross the road to get to the beach but there is a 4-way stop and a crosswalk in either direction, my 5 and 2 year olds handled it without issue. Other reviews have mentioned it can be loud but we didn't have an issue. Out of a 5 night stay we only had a problem one of the nights when a neighbor decided to have a public facetime chat just outside our window. Other than the one experience it was quiet as a mouse for us, my kids slept through the night. Great location, this is our 3rd trip to the mission bay area and probably our best trip so far. The apartment had everything we needed, it was clean, the location was incredible. Parking made me nervous but offered no challenges getting in or out. Would recommend.
