This recently remodeled studio has made very good use of the space and is beautifully decorated. The kitchen is tiny but is completely usable for making meals. Shoutout for including a rice maker! I loved the wall of windows which opens up through large sliding glass doors and offers gorgeous views and makes the space feel large and bright. You can look outside and check out the surf without leaving the apartment! The downside to the wall of windows is you can hear the city noise, but turning on the fan or a/c created white noise at night to muffle it. I didn't find the wait for the elevators to be too long.
This location has a lot of highly rated cheap eateries around, is close to the bus stop, and close to the famous Moku surf shop.
