Loved that it was a very short walking distance from Cannery Row and close to everything on Cannery Row! As a single traveler I felt safe walking around and through the area. Used bookstore about a block away and really nice views of the bay from the 4th floor. Parking was easy and I felt safe there! Great evening fire pits available and ready for s’mores!
