The location was perfect! 5-10 minute walk to restaurants, shops and bars. The only place we drove to was the Cliff Walk which is a 20 minute walk from the house. The only downside was the noise level. I knew this from the reviews but it does need to be noted. The house is near a red light so at times if a car had loud music playing it felt as if the music was in the house. Other than that it was perfect!
