Fran's apartment was a perfect headquarters for our weekend getaway to Catalina Island - at a great value. Located just on the edge of town, we were able to walk to any of Avalon's beaches and restaurants in 15 minutes or less. The apartment comes with everything you'd expect and more (e.g. snorkeling gear) and kept us comfortable even in the 100+ temperatures we experienced. Fran was easy to get in touch with and gave us helpful suggestions on places to go and things to do. Overall, this was a wonderful trip and Fran helped make it possible.
