"This location is right across from the beach and very walkable to town. Though the studio is a bit small, it was nice to have the kitchenette facilities which even included a two burner plug in cooktop. The bed and pillows were excellent. A few problems with the drains in the shower and sink but the management was aware of it and has been trying to get a plumber out to fix it. It would have been nice to know this before check in as the shower almost overflowed onto the bathroom floor....
