Upon arrival, Anthony met me out front and did a quick tour of the house and a couple maintenance issues he was aware of (he fixed the oven, but the ceiling fan was going to require more effort and he was planning to fix it after we left). He also provided a brief overview of nearby restaurants and the location of the market (which has just about everything one would need for light cooking - it may not be the cheapest, but it is certainly the most convenient).

I enjoyed going down to the park at the end of the bluff (about 3 blocks away) and look out onto the ocean with Catalina Island in the distance or in the other direction watch the large freight ships come in and out of the docks. It was great to have access to bikes to cruise around in the area. I didn't have time this trip, but it would've been great to use the beach chairs and wake boards down on the beach.

As described, on-street parking is limited, not because of the lack of existence of curbside parking, but because of the number of cars already using it (residents in the area). Tobe provides 1 parking space in front of the garage, so you always have a place to park near the residence.

One of the reasons I chose this location was because of 2 separate bedrooms (I was staying with my parents) and use of a kitchen. The kitchen is stocked with the basics (Teflon pots & pans, baking dishes, cooking utensils, spatula & tongs for the grill, measuring spoons & cups, can opener, general purpose shears, bottle opener, mixing bowls, liquid measuring cup, large colander, as well as plates, bowls, glasses, coffee cups, and silverware). The only things I found I needed (but I was able to make do with what was available and probably could've purchased these items at the market) was a box grater and garlic press.

Plenty of linens are provided and the beds are reasonably comfortable - they are pretty soft and I prefer a harder bed, but I was able to get a good nights' sleep during my stay.

Overall, I had a great experience and if I'm visiting my sister again in San Pedro, I will certainly see if this rental is available.
