Good air conditioning, close to beach and Balboa area. Easy codes to get in room. Everything was clean and ready to use. If the large storage area was converted to make the bathroom bigger this place would be a five star small resort room.

A great, affordable option in a less-than-affordable area! I was in town for work, the property was just what I needed and the hosts were responsive. GREAT location, quiet. If you are going to spend a lot of time out of the apartment, this is the perfect choice.
