My husband and I was totally impressed with Nicola's condo! We absolutely loved our stay. The condo was exactly as described and we felt so at home. We actually felt like we were "living" in California and not just visiting. This condo was a short distance from the Ocean so we were able to take daily walks and daily bicycle rides along the ocean recreational path. Nicola's provided plenty of dishes, glasses, pots and pans and condiments and seasonings so that we were able to cook in during some of the evenings which we loved! Our daughter lives only 10 minutes away so we were able to entertain "at our place". The hot tub and swimming pool were divine! As I visit my daughter at least once or twice a year, I am hoping that I will be able to time it so that I can stay at Nicola's condo again. It was just perfect!
