Shamim was a FANTASTIC host, tremendously kind person, and I cannot recommend this space enough! If you are staying for a longer period of time, there is a Ralph's and a Whole Foods within walking distance as well as a delicious juice spot a couple of blocks away. The home itself provided such a peaceful and positive environment that you may not want to leave at all during the day, though the beach is such a short distance away as well as a number of other attractions and cute areas. I would stay here again in an absolute heartbeat!
