Kate's place is great! My family spent Christmas here. Easy to get to local grocery stores or walk to the beach. 7/11 directly around the corner if you need toothpaste or little snacks. Her kitchen had everything we needed to cook a full Xmas meal. The bathroom is very nice and clean (the most important thing for me!). Kate was so kind, helpful, responsive, and left food/coffee/wine for us. TVs are loaded with Netflix, internet is good. Couch bed was a little uncomfortable for my mom but my brother slept well on it. Lastly: it's so cute! Kate has a great aesthetic. Great home away from home.
