Miriam is a fantastic host and everything was as advertised. We enjoyed lovely walks to the many parks nearby and the beautiful beach by Gonzales Park. The garden and the whole area is very dog-friendly which was a huge plus for us. The electric "fireplace" was a very nice touch as well and heated the place nicely without needing the central heat.
We were also able to walk to Thrifty's, which is a nice local market, and the shopping center it's in has a nice pub, pizza shop, and sushi place.
