Cozy downstairs unit suitable for two people. Great for folks that don’t mind a small unit enough to get around the bed and to the bathroom. Counter space with mini fridge perfect for those especially on a budget. Nice outdoor sitting area next to washer dryer. There was a couple with a toddler upstairs running around in the morning. If you don’t mind that then you’ll be just fine.

This apartment suited my needs. Certainly not fancy, matched the pictures and description. I stayed only one night and just showered and slept. Marc greeted me and made sure I had found the key. I appreciated the convenient off street parking and being able to walk to the strip-easy walk to the water, shops and restaurants. I was traveling alone and felt safe staying here. While the noise wasn’t too bad, there definitely was some right outside the open windows. I’d stay here for a night again.
Clean rooms, helpful and friendly owners. Highly recommended for anyone needing a short term stay

The host was great with communication. The unit wasn't what i expected it to be for the price. Was very clean and towels available and such.Easy to locate. Actually arrived late in the evening and left early to catch a flight. I come from a large city and felt the price didn't match the unit, was my greatest disappointment. Parking was easy to find in the front. I do not, not recommend it, but would find something different for myself if i were to return.
Good stay, as described, a clean bed and bath, nothing fancy but a good safe place to sleep. Location is a easy to walk down to shops, restaurants and beach area or tide pools.
