This is a safe, clean, and beautiful neighborhood; there are so many restaurants and shops close by! The transit is easy to get to and having the beach and parks close by is really awesome, definitely a great family-friendly area. We stayed here for Lolla and used public transit mostly. Just be ready for long rides at night during festival time. The host is great and the place has basic necessities. *Check into reserving parking ahead of time if you bring a vehicle because there wasn’t available street parking while we were there.
