I was looking forward to this vacation for a couple of years. The place is half mile from the beach and you can walk. Although there was lots of homeless around the area, the place is very safe and quiet. The bike at the picture is a small kids bike only for decoration. We had a variety of problems with the cleanliness of the place when we arrived, but Julie was able to accommodate and send somebody on the next day to take care of the problem. She was quickly and easy to respond and it is a wonderful trait from a host. Despite of the early inconvenience, we had a great time!!
