The good....great location. Half a block to the beach. Close to the International Market and a lot of eateries as well as public transport. Responsive owner and manager. The not so good...You have to walk up a flight of stairs to get to the "Penthouse. " Need to use the insecticide under the kitchen sink to control the little ants. It's true about the elevator noise mentioned in previous reviews. Be sure a refrigerator with an ice maker is in place before booking.
