This place was bigger than expected. I was concerned about not having air conditioning, with the hot weather this week during my stay, especially about the loft. Fortunately I slept very well and felt the fresh air coming straight from the skylight that was open on the side of the bed and all the others windows in the place letting the breeze come through. We didn't even need to use the ceiling fan! There was a lot of places to hike, bike, and to eat and was very close to the beach! we were really close to alot of night life on both sides of the canyon as well! Thanks to Sylvia for a fantastic description of all the things to do in the area. We had good time, but not enough time to do everything. We loved the personal touch Sylvia put in the place (bathroom floor, and most of the furniture she built, recycled and refurbished). She is an artist and an excellent hostess, not to mention the cooking part that we requested. An excellent complete organic healthy breakfast and for lunch, a fresh fish from the farmer market cooked with a french wine sauce, a delicacy (I even got the recipe to go), healthy herbs and fruits from the garden. We will definitely come back again!
