Pros:
- Steps to the beach
- Super clean, has beach towels and beach gear, we left our gear for subsequent guests too :)
- Plenty of highly rated restaurants right in and near building
- ABC stores - cheap and best source for everything from beer to water, right below apartment
- Walkable to Zoo, and other nearby attractions like shopping district.
- Matt is very responsive and a good host and we had 0 trouble with the self checkin process.
Cons:
- Loud noises and garbage trucks every morning (but it's a city, so hey)
- No view (photos seem to suggest, but of course beach not too far away)
- Parking is a nightmare. Building takes reservations but has no responsibility to hold your reservation on busy days. Zoo parking lot and street parking both tough to get a spot. If you rent this place I would suggest not renting a car till the day you need it, just go to nearby rental places.
Overall we really did have a good time here. Worth it for the money? Absolutely. Would I do it again? Probably not, because our preferences are slightly different :)
