I stayed at Eric's house along with my boyfriend and our 3 friends to celebrate the New Year, and we all had an absolutely great time. Walking through Eric's house feels like a tour at a museum - everywhere are unique and interesting pieces of art he has collected over the years from his travels, and his stories from the countries he has visited are fun to listen to. The two bedrooms upstairs have their own private bath which was very convenient, the kitchen is spacious and a pleasure to use, and there is a grill outside as well (we cooked and grilled for our New Year's dinner). In addition, the house is situated in a quiet neighborhood not far from the ocean - in the morning my girlfriends and I ran for a couple of miles around the area and reached some beautiful cliffs overlooking the Pacific. I definitely recommend staying at this location if you have the opportunity!
