The apartment is in a beautiful, solid Art Deco building only a couple of blocks from the beach entrance at 5th Street and the activity of Ocean Drive-- and yet both the apartment and the neighborhood are shady, quiet, and lovely; people greeted us on the street. The apartment itself was perfect for us (two adult women with the adult daughter of one): I was on the pullout sofa while my friend and her daughter shared the huge bed, and they didn't mind that I cut through their room to reach the bathroom. Everything was spotlessly clean, and we appreciated the washer and dryer, even for our short stay.
Jesse was super-hospitable, with suggestions about parking (which we didn't need, as we took public transportation) and the neighborhood.
The small pool (4 feet deep everywhere), apparently shared by at least two buildings, didn't seem to attract many swimmers, during our stay at least; it had tables and chairs and seemed to be a social spot more than a place to swim -- but it could hardly compete with the long beach, with lifeguards and rentable cabanas and sunshades, so close to the apartment. It was paradise. I highly recommend both the apartment and Jesse, our kind host...and look forward to my next visit.
