Carol and Ed were fantastic hosts. They live upstairs so the key handoff was seamless. Also, they are full of energy and love their city. The studio was in a great location, about a 5 minute walk from the beach and felt very safe. The studio itself is built for efficiency without feeling cramped. Shower has great pressure. Everything is clean without feeling sterile. Bonus: They have a ton of movies loaded for those nights that you just want to kick back.
