First of all Marisa was wonderful - so friendly and sweet but totally noninvasive. She greeted us as soon as our driver dropped us off, helped us get settled and gave us great recommendations, even brought us extra beach chairs to use during our visit! We didn't see her after that - although she was very accessible, just gave us privacy.
The casita is comfortable with 2 nice mattress beds and a table with 4 chairs. The rooms are small and cozy but perfect for me and my 3 sisters traveling together. There are so many little, classy touches everywhere as well. The decorating was cute, the old charm of the building very appealing, and multiple extra amenities available like hot cocoa, tea and coffee stocked in the kitchen, dishwasher detergent and laundry soap to use, lotion and sunblock in the cabinet, lots of towels, pillows and extra blankets, 4 nice beach towels and 4+ beach chairs. And so much more!
Lastly, the location was prime!!!!! So close to 2nd street with all it's shopping and restaurants. The 2 best restaurants in the area (The Attic and Manoaw Thai) were just down the street. Near bike rentals, the beach, the grocery - even Seal beach and Huntington beach were a cheap Uber/Lyft ride away. We had a wonderful time and would love to visit Marisa's comfy casita again!
