Location was perfect for our stay! However, I'll mention some things that may be helpful for future visitors. 1. Parking was really difficult to find during check-in time (maybe because we checked-in on a Saturday) but you're going against beach goers and people dining at nearby eateries. Even the owner living in the main house was clearly upset that he couldn't get parking for his own house. We both parked in the adjacent alley behind the house (the whole alley is a no parking zone). I ended up spending a good part of the afternoon periodically checking for free space so I could move my car. Then when I finally did find a space, I had argue with someone over it because there was a guy waiting in his car right behind the open space that said he was saving it for his brother (it was about 730pm at this point so maybe they were going to check out the bars in the area). 2. There were two large loose dogs on the premises that came out by surprise while I was bringing in my luggage. I thought I was about to get attacked and had to use my luggage as a barrier between myself and the dogs till I could get to the door. I'm just glad I wasn't carrying my 2 year old (which I had planned to do initially). 3. The layout of the space is fine for adults, but if you have children, just know that because you're in the basement, there are pillars everywhere and one in particular is in the middle of the walkway. If you're not paying attention you could stub your toe or walk right into it. The flooring at the base of the pillars were not finished as well, and came apart easily, which may be the result of someone doing a lazy job applying it or trying to hide it. 4. I had trouble contacting the host through Airbnb messenger. I hadn't received any replies to any of my messages which prompted me to make a phone call where the host acknowledged she did receive my messages. ??? I tried to get past it as a language-barrier type of thing and brushed it off. Replies to text were a little slow too, and didn't get check-in instructions until half an hour before check-in time, even though I was told via text message (around mid-morning/noon time) it would be sent promptly.
Overall, the location was about the best thing about this space. Bathroom was nice too. I thought it was odd that there were spatulas and tongs to cook with but no stove or hot plate. Unlike what other reviewers said, noise what not much of a problem during our stay.
