Host was very kind and helpful. We didn't meet the host. We weren't quite sure where to park but figured it out eventually. The people staying upstairs were rather noisy and brought two dogs one of which was a guard dog rotweiler who scared the crap out of us every time we entered and exited as it was holding down the fort on the upper balcony and launching at us through the rails. The only other thing I would say is that there were three of us and the front futon just isn't really made for sleeping and was very uncomfortable and small (as was the bed in the main bedroom), ... Thankfully I got to sleep by myself, If I were staying there with my partner who is 6'3" there is no way we would fit or sleep comfortably in the double bed - or the futon. FYI, there are no blackout blinds in the front area so it can be extremely bright both at night because of the porch light and in the morning. We also didn't find additional towels for our third person. The tile is absolutely amazing though it would be nice if there was a little rug to wipe your feet before you get into bed.
We heard there has been some pretty intense activity on the boardwalk lately and people told us not to go out there after dark (scary!).
All said - we still really enjoyed staying there though the place could be really awesome if it were just a tad more comfortable for sleeping - and other guests weren't allowed to bring large attack dogs, or if these things aren't that big of a deal to you. We appreciated being in a nice quirky place for a great price.
... bonus ... Gjusta opened a few blocks away! mmmmm yummy fun.
