Jessica's home was great. I currently live in MDR and know the area very well, I booked this stay for my mother who was coming to visit me from Chicago. First and foremost, the original reservation was for April 1st-8th, but after my grand father unexpectadly passing away, Jessica was nice enough to adjust her stay to the following week.
The space is just beautiful. The pictures do not do it justice. The decor and design was just lovely, we took so many great pictures. This home has so many unique features that really give you that 'california vibe'.
My mother brought all her owns soaps and things, so the amenities weren't an issue for her as there was only travel size shower soaps and Jessica had written in the kitchen 'please only use what you will replenish'. The only thing that we seemed to have trouble with was the stickiness of the front door lock, and the thermostat. It was very cold/rainy this last week in California and the Nest was locked via a passcode at 69 degrees. With the concrete floors on the first level, my mother was chilly. I did reach out to Jessica and ask her to raise it and she answered 5 hours later saying she would look for the access code and adjust it, which she did eventually bump it to 70. My mom was a little disappointed that she wasn't able to adjust it to her comfortability level. This was of course a rare occasion since it's usually 'sunny california' and I hope it will be for you as well!
Also if you're a light sleeper do note that while the location is just next to the beach and the Washington Square shops, Pacific Ave can get loud. The master bedroom faces the street and cars speed by in the night, cars honk and you tend to hear alot of chatting / people walking home from the bars yelling. One night there was a screaming match taking place at 2am.
Overall, if you are looking for a medium sized home with some very unique and beautiful design elements, within walking distance to the beach and dining options, this would be a great option for you!
