Pros
* Location, Location, Location - within walking distance to both piers, lots of stores and restaurants, and just across the street from the beach!
* Very clean
* Comfy bed - slept great!
* Nice and very well stocked kitchen - we would have appreciated more than two packets of coffee for a 5-night stay but it held us over until we could buy coffee.
* The outdoor patio and table is a nice place to have morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening.
* This apartment set back from the street which is nice.
Cons
* Sound - overall quiet but at night I could hear snoring and coughing from Apt B as well as phone notifications. There is sound from Balboa Blvd as well but it subsides at night.
* Figuring out how to get the mini-split heating/cooling system set right (even with the instructions) but we did and were then comfortable.
* Sofa isn’t the most comfortable but worked for us.
* The description of a very small shower is accurate. It worked for me (5’4”, 130lb) and my husband was alright (5’11”, 185) but if you are a very large person, it will quite cramped.
* The interior of the bathroom medicine cabinet could use some attention and the paint is beginning to peel off the bathroom door and walls.
I only had one communication with the property manager while we were there and they responded immediately.
We would definitely stay here again!
