The view from the balcony is stunning!! The bed is nice and soft and the furnishings are really nice. A few drawbacks--since there's no a/c and you have to have the windows open, the bedroom is next to the walkway and over a parking lot with the whole building close to a busy street, so there is a lot of noise all day and night. The upgrades are really great, but this unit is a little older with some wear and tear on some things. But the view is worth it all!! Just a short walk to the beaches and great restaurants--try Lava Rock during happy hour--great food and inexpensive! And did I mention the view?!!!!
