This is one fairly spacious home that has been divided into a few separate apartment spaces. Nice view out the front window, quiet area, a few shops and grocery stores were within walking distance (maybe a 10-15 minute walk). We didn't wind up taking advantage of the beach so we can't comment on that. But overall the space was quite nice, good furniture, comfortable beds, very clean. Creaky floors though, I was a little worried about making too much noise for the tenants below. Large shower in the bathroom! Kitchen with a few small pots and pans, good enough for reheating some soup etc but probably wouldn't be enough for cooking up a full meal. Nice space in the backyard but since the house kind of is shared space with limited seating we didn't get to use it as it tended to always be occupied and full. The apartments next to us were relatively quiet and we weren't disturbed much nor bothered by the noise. Having the garage space was nice -- a little confusing/difficult to find but otherwise handy. The garage entrance is on an alley that is basically parallel to the entrance to the house. What we did was park the car in the alley, then walk around the street to get to the front of the house, and then had to open the garage from the inside to allow the car to be driven in. As stated in other reviews the garage space is SMALL. We rented a Nissan Versa and that was JUST the right size for the garage space. Quite a narrow garage space, would probably not fit an SUV. Based on reviews we were worried about the parking situation and that was why we got the parking, but there was actually street parking available on the saturday and sunday that we were there -- maybe it wasn't yet warm enough when we were there? Either way paying 10 bucks a day for parking wasn't too bad a price to pay for peace of mind on vacation.
Some reviewers mentioned that it was sometimes difficult to get a hold of Susan, but in our experience she responded in a timely manner, and sent me messages and reminders etc. as the date of our stay became closer.
Overall we had a good time here! Thanks Susan!
