The location was excellemnt. Very close to the beach, food and stores. Because the location is in a very good location it also suffers from street noise at night & early morning. There was some noise inside the apartment building but most of the noises was from outside. Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done about the outside noise. The apartment could benefit from an rug just outside the door for cleaning shoes and storing shoes. It was impossible to keep sand out of the apartment. I noticed that there use to be a shower next to the washing machines on the ground floor. A shower in that location would be wonderful to help clean off sand tracked in from the beach showers. It was just difficult to get all sand off your body, clothes and shoes before entering the apartment. The instructions for getting in the building and instructions on how to get the key were perfect. We really appreciated having beach towels and tubes available. Thanks
