The location of this property is amazing, and you look out at the bay and lighthouse (the restaurant of which is great!). And, it is only one house row from the beach, so getting out to the surf is very easy! And, with the parking, you don't have to worry about getting that in the always busy Balboa!The challenges - the parking is one slot (typical) but uncovered, which is not a huge deal. It shares the lot with 2 other spots, and this spot is by the trash cans, so you have to navigate that. The only access to the unit is via stairs, which are a bit steep, and the first time you access you have to show your ID along with your face to the digital doorbell. There is 1 bathroom off the entrance, which wasn't a problem for me but if you have several people that could be an issue. The carpet is a little worn and the vents are somewhat dirty but I think the property is priced accordingly. But the deck off the front looking at the bay/lighthouse is so nice as well as the access to the beach, it is hard to really complain about anything else - those are just things I'd want to know before booking!
