The location is great for a city-center trip. You are right in the middle of the action, and everything you need (beach, food, shopping) is well within walking distance. The studio itself was clean and well maintained. The road noise was a little much to sleep through, but the window AC unit helped to drown that out a bit. Parking wasn't exactly fun, but Blake was very responsive when I requested tips for that. The parking garage beneath the building is very tight, so I recommend having your passenger hop out to check for a spot. We were also able to find free parking on a street a few blocks away. The bed was comfortable, as was the futon, and we appreciated the supplied beach towels.
