This home is beautiful - there has clearly been lots of care put into decorating and providing everything needed for guests to be comfortable. The couch and bed were both very comfortable, linins were soft, and there were plenty of fans / space heaters to help control temperature. The TVs were also super easy to use and the wifi worked well.
The only portion of this property that isn't ideal is the location. While it was close to a market, the beach, and lots of restaurants, it is in the heart of town and has some of the downfalls associated. When we were checking in there were a couple of unhoused people in the alley with us, as well as a number of folks camped out on the street around the corner. I live in a similar area so I didn't mind too much (I had a friendly coversation with the person watching us check-in), it just didn't feel 100% safe to walk around with so many people on the street in an unfamiliar city. That said, obviously this isn't the homeowners fault and they provide everything needed to make you feel secure in their home (locked garage, gated entry, fencing around the property).
Regarding the garage, it's fairly small so if possible to come in a small car, definitely do so! My prius fit perfectly and it provided nice peace of mind to know my car was safe, but I don't think an SUV could have squeezed in. Also, if possible to arrive at the property during the daytime, that makes it easier to learn how to use the lock. Personally I've never parked in a garage with a door that you open manually, so it took a few tries to figure out how it worked.
Overall, I would recommend this property to others with the caveats mentioned above. It makes for a comfortable stay and puts you in close proximity to lots of activities / attractions. I would recommend visiting Rosie's dog beach to get some great views of the water plus lots of sweet dog interaction!
