This is an efficiency unit, appropriate for 2 adults and up to 2 children max.

Not great
The parking was not accurately disclosed in ad. It state there is parking in the street. All areas not a driveway were painted red curbs so. NoO public parking was available. We searched down the block for a ways and nothing for public parking. Only parking is a public lot that cost a daily fee. Bed in bedroom is very uncomfortable and it too big for the room makes it hard to get to the bathroom. We had no remote control for bedroom tv the entire stay as well. There was very loud renters all night long and dog barking. We did not feel safe as the front and back door s always unlocked. For the most part location was good being beach front but that’s the only plus for us. The interior was a kind of cheap rehab as the the “tile” on the sink back splash was a thin plastic faux front that was peeling off. There is no air conditioning in the unit and the only heat was a floor stand alone heater. Would not ever stay here again.

A Disappointment
We were well warned about the size of the property -which was acceptable, but we were not warned about the quality and condition of the space and building. Single pane Windows that do not fully close and come off the track, damage and markings on walls and woodwork, minimal kitchen supplies (not even salt except what was on leftover crackers shoved into the back), stained bath towels, very very thin walls, etc. We will not stay with this property group again - the marketing well overstates the property's actual condition

Don't book this one!
Loud noise upstairs throughout the night (even 3am). No air conditioning and no air flow even with the windows open. No screens on the windows, completely exposed. fridge won't get cold enough, had to freeze my meat to take home.
