The location of this condo is perfect! It is walking distance to pretty much anything you need. It is true that there is a lot of traffic noise, but it was never so bad that it woke me up or kept me up. Parking can be an issue if you get home late (after 6), but there is a ton of parking within a couple hundred yards. Parking was not really an issue. Being able to see and hear the ocean from the unit is the best part. If you are looking for a super basic/budget place to stay this is absolutely my recommendation! Willa was very response and great.
