Our family of five stayed in this home for four days. We had positive communication with Arabella. The location of the home and pool were especially great!! We could quickly walk to Blue Bottle Cafe in the morning or go to Lassens Natural Foods for groceries. We walked to dinner several times and Skylight Books.
The AC worked well and made the hot days more comfortable. The kids used the pool every day and we found that swimming made the downtime between activities more enjoyable and relaxing! The kids also loved the books that were on shelves all around the house! We hardly used the TV.
The washing machine/dryer and dishwasher were very helpful. There were lots of bath towels, beach towels, sheets and blankets.
The house was charming but it is older and some things were neglected and/or in need of repair. The beds were a bit hard and creaky. The water in the one bathroom sink did not get hot. There were many personal items around the house in cabinets, closets, and shelves.
For our family the access to the pool, the books, and the location to restaurants, grocery store and coffee shops out weighed any negative factors.
