The home and surrounding neighborhood were so very lovely. There are great restaurants and bars within walking distance and the beach is very close in the other direction. If I did not have to be at the convention center most of my stay, I would never have strayed far from this cozy abode! Everything you need to enjoy sunny Ca is just steps away. The streets are filled with beautiful homes and in the evening people open their front doors to welcome in the sea breeze. I felt very safe and welcome. (Bonus: street parking out front was pretty easy to come by, if you have a car). The house was clean and as pictured with a really great shower and comfy beds. I would definitely rent from Bruce again! He was responsive and accommodating, but I hardly has to communicate with him because he had already provided everything that we needed! Do yourself a favor and book this BNB...and then wander over to Simmzy's on 2nd street (we had dinner there twice during our 5 night stay). (Extra bonus: a Peet's coffee is just a 3 minute walk from the house). Ok, I'm done gushing! Very happy camper here. Enjoy!
