Both hosts were there to welcome me and to help me with my luggage. I had a rental car and they graciously let me use their garage during my stay although that meant that they had to find street parking for their own car. The room, bathroom and kitchen were immaculate - they had set out a basket of "goodies" like tooth brush, paste, shower gel, shampoo etc. and offered me the use of the kitchen, coffee etc. The towels were big and plush like those at a luxury hotel - on top of that their place is super centrally located and only a few blocks from the beach and downtown. They were very considerate and friendly and made me feel like I had a wonderful safe haven to return to after a day of exploring the area. I can't recommend them enough!!
