We stayed at Steve and Wendy's house for three nights. They came and introduced themselves the first night, and gave us the skinny on local restaurants. The house was very private and comfortable. It had lots of amenities: coffee, sugar, a Roku and TV, a microwave, cards for the train, etc.
Location was great -- close to the beach, about a stone's throw from the metro, there was a bike trail / running trail right next to the train.
Can't say enough good stuff.
