Cynthia's place was exactly as advertised. The location is great. We could walk to the ocean, west 4th Street had grocery stores and restaurants (and some other stuff) and the #4 bus took us to downtown etc.
Cynthia the host was very responsive and even greeted us personally after midnight as our flight didn't get in until late.
Pretty much everything you could need is available - towels, beach towels, food wrap, tea, coffee, laundry etc.
The place is garden level which means it's a walk out basement. it's a bit musty smelling when you first come in and a bit on the dark side, but neither should be a deterrent to staying here.
If you're 6' or taller, the shower height may be an issue as there's a bulkhead at the one end.
The couch in the living room is pretty uncomfortable. It's a recliner but that didn't help. if you want to lounge in the evening or whenever, this might not be the best place to stay. We found it best to relax in the bed.
