Communications was great with Aina and her mom, who was the one who let us in. having parking was clutch. The place was 2 blocks away from the start of the third street promenade and 3 small blocks away from the ocean. Really great location. The place is definitely just for renting - pretty bare boned in terms of dishes / pots / pans. I wouldn't count on being able to cook there. But definitely has coffee, tea, salt, pepper for something super basic. Aina supplies you with towels and bath products.
