Great location. Awesome little neighborhood
Great neighborhood restaurants, coffee shop, bars, ice cream shop, market and a huge dog park all within walking distance. Shops and restaurants were very dog friendly. We were only a 15 minute drive from dog beach. The condo was neat and clean.

Beautiful Studio
This was our first time staying in the studio, did not disappointed. It reflected the pictures. It is the perfect location and space for a small family. It's a 2-3 minute walk to stores, restaurants, parks, and Target. The neighborhood was beautiful and perfect in every way. It had everything we needed and more. I stayed in the top right unit. Comfortable for my three-year-old and me. John was attentive and helpful with great recommendations, truly going above and beyond. I highly recommend staying here...you will be satisfied. Hopefully, we will have the opportunity to return soon.
