This place served the purpose I was looking for, for the price. The location is good, 2 blocks to the nicest part of the bay, imo, 7 long blocks to the beach and 4 blocks to Garnet. I strongly
suggest renting bikes day 1! Navigating the area on bike and not having to find parking closer to the beach or anywhere you want to go will change your time there. Fortunately the place has a parking spot, making a big difference. Everything you need is an easy bike trip away and much more pleasurable way to get there. The place is updated and functional except the pots and pans, lol. Have this in mind, the space is tight, living room and bedroom are fine. Kitchen and bathroom are tight, kitchen is a one person operation and bathroom while for most people is a one person operation even that is still tight. So if your a large person these things could be tough. Normal size it's doable. Except the mirror/cabinet that hangs over the sink makes impossible to shave, wash your face even challenging to rinse your mouth after brushing your teeth. That choice I do not get. With that said I'm trying to give a realistic perspective on a couple of things so you are aware of what your getting into. The french doors that open to the front deck and let the light and fresh air in with the palm trees blowing in the wind I enjoyed every morning to start my day and they were open throughout. One of the most important aspects of a rental to me is sleep and cleanliness and this place delivered. Mattress is comfortable enough and the place is quite, very quite at night. You would never know you share a wall if you didn't walk by the building and see. The neighborhood is in a really nice part of PB. Only good experiences in the neighborhood. For the location, price and function I definitely recommend this place. One person or a couple. The only time dealing with Renee was a pleasure and was professional. The only disappointment of the whole experience was my family coming over for a bbque on my Mom's bday and right when where about to put the chicken on we realize there was no gas. Hopefully that doesn't happen in the future.
So with all that said I had very nice time in the space and location and if it fits what you are looking for this place will be a pleasure.
