We stayed at Nicole's place for seven weeks, and overall we really enjoyed our stay . Some pros/cons below...
Pros:
-amazing location, right near tons of restaurants, shops, and grocery stores & a quick walk to the beach
-spacious, two of us stayed here with one person wfh, and it never felt cramped
-Nicole was incredibly responsive, she dropped off a fan and knives within an hour of us reaching out to her
Cons:
-check in process- my flight got delayed a few hours and I was set to arrive in after the allowed check in time. I was incredibly communicative with Nicole, sending her updates every ~30 minutes, but she was very upset about my delay and was urging me to leave my rental car at the airport so I could check in sooner. I found this very frustrating given the flight delay was out of my control, I was only 30 minutes past her scheduled window, and I was spending thousands of dollars on the seven week reservation and was only asking for an extra 30 min to an hour of her time. Ultimately it ended up working out, but this was still a bummer and a lot of added stress the night before I was supposed to start my new job.
-comfort- the house was very clean and perfectly standard for an Airbnb. However, the couches are a plasticy leather and did not feel particularly homey for being there ~7 weeks
