We were staying in the upstairs apartment of Molly's house. The house is nice and the apartment decor is very cosy, "vacation at the beach" feeling, you will feel right at home. Heating system works like a charm in the winter despite being old (it is noiseless too). It is also very nice to be able to use the barbecue, cleaning and leisure equipment in the garage. The patio is really intimate. The house is really is the heart of mission Beach neighborhood which means you won't be able to park near the house (you can on the boulevard but then you need to move your car at 8AM) but, sincerely, it is part of the charm and we were more than happy to walk two blocks to our car to be able to feel this intimate village experience .
The only downturn that we had is that the hotel behind the house was doing some minor renovation, so the workers would get to it "early" in the morning. I would expect that under normal circumstances, you would only hear them store their equipment in the shed.
