Barbra & Art's place was fantastic, we enjoyed the private patio and locality to everything. The room was lovely and having a coffee maker, fridge and microwave was handy for left overs from big portions in restaurants and a simple breakfast.
The hosts were very welcoming and respectful of our privacy. The guest suite feels very self contained and is in a beautiful residential area.
We went to some of the restaurants recommended and were so pleased we did as they were great.
It was lovely to stay in an area that was coastal with access to L.A. with 30 minutes by car.
On our depature wlthe next guests arrived an hour before our check out time and sat outside the door chatting loudly on the phone. We found this a little imposing as we didn't get a chance to enjoy a coffee on the patio (where they sat) before heading off and felt rushed out the door. I doubt this was any fault of the hosts but was very inconsiderate of fellow airbnbers who wouldn't have wanted to have experienced this themselves.
