We thoroughly enjoyed our one-night stay at Patrick’s guesthouse and could have easily stayed longer.
There are many rules and instructions provided, which show that the hosts truly- and understandably- care about the condition of their guest home. You will definitely feel like you are staying in a well-cared for home, which is refreshing compared to all of the property managed AirBnBs we have stayed at in the past. Patrick greeted us upon our arrival and gave us a quick and helpful tour of the place.
The home is extremely clean, spacious, and fully-stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay including a Roku TV (with fast Internet), stocked full-sized kitchen, access to washer/dryer and a private patio.
The location is good- quiet street, easy to find parking, not super close to the beach/boardwalk, but close enough. Also comfortably close to Abbott Kinney and their adorable local/trendy shops.
When we booked the place, we were looking forward to the cruiser bikes available for guests’ use. Unfortunately, none of the bikes were in comfortable riding-condition, so we ended up not using them.
Overall, we felt safe, as the guesthouse is located behind an electronically-locked gate. It’s also worth noting that Patrick is LGBTQ friendly, and we felt very comfortable staying here.
A few recommendations in the area: Brunch at Great White (get the ricotta hotcakes!), dinner at Gjusta, and ice cream at Salt & Straw!
