Beautiful, newly updated space in a great location. The place is much nicer than you would think judging from the outside of the building and stairway. We were also a little concerned that the fire station across the street would mean nighttime street noise, but that was not the case. The apartment is comfortable and has everything one would need in the kitchen and there is an excellent laundry right across the street should you need it. If you hear 'chirping' noise at night, it's frogs, not birds, and you can cut out most of that noise by closing the windows on the beach side of the unit. Also, we had a few instances of trouble staying connected to the wi fi. I suggest having a personal hot spot on your phone and that should take care of it.
