Alix was nice enough to accommodate me after another host cancelled on me the week prior to my visit. Alix was very clear with instructions and responded very quickly. The place was exactly what I like about an Airbnb experience: you really get the feel for living in that neighborhood. When I turned down the street and saw someone on a skateboard walking his dog, I fell in love with the area. The apartment was a great home base for exploring the area and had everything I needed. The bed was very comfortable and the blackout blinds helped with my jet lag, but could easily open up everything to get tons of light. I loved having a cup of the organic coffee on the deck while the sea mist burned off before heading to the beach.
