I will start by saying that this condo is lovely, very well decorated, super quick walk to the beach, nice complex. The beds are very comfortable. All the necessary beach gear is available for use. The owner was very quick to answer my email regarding early check-in so I feel would have been very responsive if we had needed anything else during our stay. However, I know others commented on the lack of traffic noise but I believe they must have come in the off-season. The traffic (foot, auto, bike, etc.) was very heavy. All traffic for drop-off on the Strand is one way with the street outside this unit being where everyone exits drop-off. Also, the trains run directly behind this unit. We counted three middle of the night whistles. Because of all the outside noise, it really isn't possible to sleep with the windows open. None of this is a reflection on the owner or quality of the unit, but I did feel like I would be dishonest if I omitted these facts. They did directly impact the quality of our stay. Having said all that, I would probably stay in this unit again in the Spring or Fall when overall tourism in California is down.
