Cute little place

Overall, we enjoyed our stay here. It was just my wife and me, and I wouldn't recommend any more than two guests. It's small but it's also exactly as described in the listing. The location is great. South end of Mission Beach, one row of houses off the boardwalk right next to the volleyball courts. Easy walk or bike ride to the local market and coffee shop. We really appreciated the bikes for this exact reason. And we liked the little outdoor space as well. The property manager Cindy is fantastic. Super responsive. Almost immediate. And the shower water pressure is awesome. It's an older place so if you like new, high-end stuff this isn't the spot for you. But it's quaint. Sort of like a Spanish villa. There's no A/C so it was a bit hot at night, even with all the fans going. There's a box fan in the house but it doesn't work so it's only the ceiling fans. Our only real complaint was the noise. The walls and ceiling are paper thin so you hear absolutely everything going on outside and from whoever is renting the apartment above you. The people there at the same time as us were very loud. But even if they aren't you hear every step they take. And the alley was shockingly noisy with trucks, construction, and other people. Not much that can be done about that but for that reason we probably wouldn't stay there again. Just a bit too warm and a bit too loud for our liking.
