To stay at Pam and George’s place was to experience Southern California at its most enchanting, a place where my beautifully appointed hideaway offered utter charm and comfort, and a lovely garden offered inspiration and birdsong. Yet I was mere steps from cafés, markets, and other great venues, and had easy access to the beach and downtown. As someone who travels year-round for work and relies heavily on Airbnb, I was thrilled, and frankly amazed, to find such a lovely place for such a reasonable rate. All of the glowing reviews that have preceded mine are completely justified. If you’re lucky enough to find this place available, don’t hesitate—it’s a gem and so are Pam and George. (And pack light, because these thoughtful hosts have provided everything you need.) Like everyone else who has stayed here, I hope to return some day.
