Steve is an excellent host. If I had a question, he responded immediately. The description of his place is accurate as are his instructions. He was very courteous and made sure we were settled in and happy with our accommodations. It seemed important to him that we were pleased with the place and that we knew he was available if we needed him. As for the house, it is beautifully appointed and well located. Though it was a bit chilly in California during our visit, we still enjoyed the balcony and the roof top terrace. My college age sons made daily use of the bikes. There are many restaurants and shops nearby, not to mention the beach. The house is within minutes of everything you could want whether walking, biking our jumping in the car to get there. The 3 bikes were an added bonus. All in all, we were very pleased with our stay and would highly recommend this listing. Thanks Steve for a great stay. It made our college visits more enjoyable!
