Laura's place is situated fewer than five minutes from the ocean and close to many grocery stores, coffee shops, and restaurants. It looks exactly as it does in the photos. Original hardwood floors and fun vintage posters make for a charming home base from which to explore the ocean and mountains (both Lion's head and Signal Hill are often in view while walking along the water and main roads). Laura was a good host, available for entertaining conversation in the kitchen when desired while also respectful of my privacy. I highly recommend her home.
