This 3rd floor unit is functional and utilitarian. The 30 steps to the top present a view of the marina which is obscured by the poles and wires and a parking lot which is used for dumping. The wind whistles, howls, and bangs up there. The location is wonderful for walking to restraunts, shops, and the used bookstore benefiting the animal shelter. There is plenty of music at all the restaurants which carries upstairs. There is a short walk to a beautiful beach (out the back, right down the alley, left to a low blue and white wall, down the stairs). The unit has everything you need to enjoy your stay in San Carlos.
