Great location, a block from the beach. Restaurants nearby, good surfboard rental on the ground floor of the building. There's often live music at a restaurant on the corner, so it isn't super quiet in the evenings, but it wasn't problematically loud. The balcony doesn't have a great view, but it is roughly south facing, so there's lots and lots of natural light. It's a very comfy apartment.
The only important thing I can think of to note is that if you want to do anything more than boiling water for tea/coffee, the kitchen leaves something to be desired. The knives are quite dull, the pots and pans were rather scratched up, and there are no ingredients for even the most simple cooking (e.g., salt, pepper, oil), so even something as simple as frying an egg might be a challenge... save yourself the trouble and go to the restaurants nearby. It'll end up being cheaper anyway.
