Stayed here while attending a conference at BCEC. It's a 1.5 mile walk - under 1/2 hour if you walk at a brisk pace. Or you can take cabs or Uber/Lyft. The apartment is stylish and beds were comfortable. The street that the apartment is on is quiet. It's a short walk to shops and restaurants, as well as the beach. The neighborhood was residential and seemed safe. Parking is problematic in this neighborhood on weekdays, but weekends are OK. I parked my car closer to BCEC where there were some free parking spots. Great place to stay!
