Nicole's place is awesome! We didn't want to leave. It is a clean, homey, comfortable spot that is just a few blocks to the beach, but also just a few steps to Whole Foods. You can see the water from the upstairs windows. You can hear the otters in the evening. We were there on business but tried to take in as much fun as time would allow. That area of the South Bay is hoppin', but you wouldn't know it unless you walked a few blocks. Nicole's neighborhood is very quiet. The hosts were excellent. Always got back to us fairly quickly if we needed anything. Nice people. Book it! You won't be disappointed! : )
