What Renters Like and Dislike About Humboldt

I like going to the beach. Nothing unique but it is near a coffee shop! Its ok to live here but the area has been invaded with undesirables figuring the cops wont notice them here.

Its not unique at all. We go to the beach a lot. To the breweries and restaurants. Its very beachy.
