This was my first time using airbnb and I made the mistake of looking for lodging on the same day I needed it. I scrolled through dozens of listings to no avail, going directly to the calendar to find availability. Lucky for me, this listing was open and I leaped on it immediately, requesting the room. I am so grateful to Carol for accepting my request, even though she already had other personal plans for that day. The room was exactly what I needed: simply a place to lay my head after a long day. It was clean, comfortable and quiet in a lovely neighborhood near the beach. I went for a nice walk through the neighborhood and on the beach, and slept great. Carol is a gracious hostess and I highly recommend her for future lodgers.
