Steve is a host par excellence. He provided great directions for finding this little corner of paradise. When we got there, he was waiting for us and gave us a very helpful tour of the apartment, directions to the beach and to the corner store where we bought our milk and cereal. He made himself available and invited us to text him if we needed anything during our stay. He lives downstairs and so that made it convenient if we needed him for anything. The apartment itself was exactly as represented in the posting--a very comfortable queen bed, a rollaway bed which doubles as a couch, more than enough towels for beach and bath, and enough kitchen appliances to allow for breakfast preparation [a microwave, a Keurig, and a toaster. The bathroom is updated in a tasteful manner and has a fan, a heater for those chilly SOCAL late spring mornings, and is well lighted. The closet has more than enough room to store clothes for an extended stay. There is pile carpet throughout except in the kitchen area. And the whole apartment is squeaky clean. It's a great value for the money. My wife and I were blown away with how quiet and restful the space was; it is quieter than our home!! When we came back after an evening out, it felt great to retreat into such a tranquil atmosphere, supported by a combination of location on the Grand Canal [no cars or motorboats!!] and the way the apartment is designed and furnished. We would stay there again in a heartbeat.
