The hosts were awesome and very generous. Sandra is one of the nicest people I've ever met through AirBnB. Chris was great, and the rest of the family are awesome - everybody was a pleasure to meet and talk to! (I was there for a week, and I worked instead of going out during the day, so I had ample opportunity to meet everybody, including several very kind meal invitations from the hosts.)
The space is cozy and homey. I stayed alone, so I had a LOT of room, and that was nice.
It had all the necessities and more. Having a laundry room right there was actually super convenient. And the grill out back came in handy (and the hosts provided all the charcoal and lighter fluid!).
You are living downstairs, so there's a bit of noise from above, but it's minimal after 9PM.
The neighborhood is outstanding - safe, quiet, and beautiful. There are wonderful views and walks everywhere. Only 10-15 minute stroll to the beach. The backyard is pretty - lots of rose bushes - and the dog and two kittens are a hoot. They only come out once in a while, though.
A very good value for the money. Highly recommended.
