We had a great stay at Geoffs. The basement was really spacious, clean and comfortable. It was very private with its own entrance and we could keep cosy with the space heater available. Wifi was fast. Even though we didn't meet Geoff, he was a great communicator and accommodated our last minute booking. The area is beautiful, with a suburban feel. About 15/20 min walk down to the beaches (and a bit of a hill back up), but there is public transport at the top of the street that will get you everywhere.
