This was my FIRST experience with Airbnb. The cottage had a very cozy feel (as advertised). The kitchen was well equipped (to include a lot of spices in pantry). This was a great advantage especially for a family of 4. Tracey was very hospitable and quick to respond to resolve small mishaps that occurred (i.e, some electrical outlets not working). The laundry room is nearby but not in the unit and it's coined (a slight misunderstanding I had). However, it did not pose as a problem. Parking is on the streets. It only became somewhat of a challenge (not too bad) during certain hours on Thursday and Friday for the city sweeping. Other than that, I was able to find parking for my Grand Cherokee SUV with great ease. The neighborhood was very safe and the BEACH was a couple of blocks (within walking distance). My 3 teenagers and I got to walk on the beach, swim, see the sunrise and sunset (BEAUTIFUL). Tracey also worked with us for a later checkout due to my son having to take an important HS requirement TEST that just happened to be on the day of checkout. Totally appreciate her flexibility and understanding. Thank you Tracey for making our FIRST Airbnb experience and our FIRST time in California such a pleasant one!
