My friend and I and our service dogs stayed with Cynthia because of the location. Since were both disabled. We wanted to sit and gaze out towards the pacific most of the time. The location is to die for and Cynthia was very nice. She helped us with our baggage and showed us great hospitality.
We enjoyed our conversations and her friendliness towards my visiting friends. There was however some things that were disappointing to us.
There were some odds and ends (it was cold in the house, not much privacy, cleanliness a bit rough) that should be improved on but mainly it should be known that the host's bedroom is in the living room. We planned on sitting a lot of our time on the balcony. Roughing it in the cold.
Sadly we were not able to enjoy the balcony because our host has her bedroom in the living room. We felt funny going through her bedroom when she was sleeping and never made it to the balcony. The balcony facing the ocean is actually where the host sleeps, not the room you are renting.
Plus it seems our host was not prepared for guests since the furniture was still covered.

I'm sure for most this arrangement would work for them but for myself and friend. We expected different.
Great location hospitality and host.
