My husband and I came from Boston and have never been to the area. The house was a perfect size for 2 people. It is in a great location, walk to the beach and close to the Riviera area which we enjoyed for their great restaurants and shops. The house was just as the pictures described, but the outdoor area was even more enjoyable than the pictures showed. It was nice having the washer and dryer available and the house was in a very quiet neighborhood. Marisa was accommodating and an excellent communicator. We can't wait to get back to CA and hope to stay at Marisa's charming place again.
