We could walk in all directions from this unit for restaurants, shopping, the beach, and THE ZOO. The zoo is a must-see! The available free parking was a bonus. This is in a high rise building and it would have been helpful in the listing if the floor number was given. There are four elevators servicing 30+ floors and on most days during our stay only 3 were operating. The wait time was sometimes lengthy and we had to use the stairs three times because we had reservations to keep. My husband and I are fit seniors, but our knees took a pounding. It would also have been helpful to have the makings for one cup of coffee for our first morning there -- and body wash for our first shower. We've never been without these two items in our travels, especially on the first morning. And, this was one of the times the elevators were packed in the a.m., so we took to the stairs down to have coffee and hit the local Safeway for food and supplies. These were just inconveniences for us and may have been perfect for anyone else. The unit was comfortable, clean and in a great location.
