This is a lovely small (2 bedroom, 1 bath) apartment overlooking a charming lagoon in Carlsbad. The furnishings and kitchen are up to date, the unit is very clean, and there is a plant filled patio with chaises and chairs overlooking the lagoon and on to the ocean. The hosts are exceedingly responsive and highly professional. The single drawback has been noted in many prior reviews: a very high level of noise from two freeways that are very close to the home. While the home itself is well soundproofed, the roar from the freeways is omnipresent outside 24/7. If that is not an issue for you, this is an ideal rental. If it is an issue, be forewarned.
