The location is great. This Airbnb is in the heart of Avalon and only a couple blocks away from many bars, restaurants, and Vons. The place was also clean. The filtered water was a nice touch and very refreshing to have after a long day of ziplining and parasailing.
The place was exactly as described by the host. The host was also very friendly and helped me when I got lost on the way to the place. She was responsive by text message and phone. This place is also a great deal, compared to the hotels that run $200 to $500+ a night in Catalina. I would stay at this place again.
FYI, there is no A/C here, but they do provide fans, which kept the rooms cool enough. Catalina is on an island, so it is not nearly as hot as it is in Southern California. I read some people complaining about the spotty Wifi, but this is also an island, so I don't expect the fastest internet. I would be surprised if there is more than 1 internet service provider on this island.
This place provides bedding, shower towels and beach towels, about 2 gallons of filtered water, a coffee pot, a Roku, a microwave, and a fridge. The bed is also quite comfortable, and there's a small table with 2 chairs so guests can sit down and eat or use the computer. They provide shower gel and bar soap for the bathroom, so you will need to bring your own shampoo, conditioner, face wash, lotion, moisturizer, and other toiletries you may need.
FYI, there is no A/C here (only heater), but they do provide fans, which kept the rooms cool enough. Catalina is on an island, so it is significantly cooler than Southern California to begin with.
