I can finally get some sleep knowing my daughter and her friends are in good hands with Adriana and her staff! Location, location, location!

Pros: -walking distance to downtown (as well as Whole Foods and Trader Joe's) -some remodeled apartments -nice landlord and leasing company -surprisingly quiet. There is some noise from Highway 1 and Ocean Street (you will hear motorcycles pretty much all the time... just use a noise machine when you sleep) -reasonable rent and super reasonable slight rent increases each year -tenants are somewhat diverse, some older folks and some students. -walls are reasonably thick. You can still hear your neighbors sometimes though. -proximity to Highway 17. My commute to Los Gatos was usually just under 30 minutes on most days. Cons: -thermostat from the 1960s which didn't quite work right -lots of homeless around this part of town. Most of the time I walked around outside or filled up at the corner gas station, I was hounded for money or had to listen to them arguing with themselves. When I moved in I tried to tolerate them, but by the time I moved out I was done living so close to so many homeless.. they also setup a HUGE tent camp which I could just barely see from my front door (behind the shopping center, across the river) -no direct access to the path by the river. You have to walk in the opposite direction, then back to the river through a side street. -someone nearby is growing huge amounts of marijuana, and the smell sometimes wafts in and is overwhelming. -SC humidity. You need to keep the ventilation going or mold will start to grow. I ended up buying a big dehumidifier soon after I moved in to remedy this (also to help while I was away on a two week vacation)
