Kathy was friendly and welcoming, and the place was clean and airy. Overall, it was a great experience.

One of the reasons I chose the place was that bikes were available for use. When it came time to use the bikes, I felt that we ran a strong risk of having to walk a bike home, based on their condition. We decided to walk the 7 miles to Santa Monica, rather than run that risk. Keys were also not left for the bike locks, so we would not have been able to lock them up, which I had inquired about ahead of time. I'm sure that Kathy would have remedied the lock situation if we had waited, but the tire condition and general condition of the bikes did not inspire confidence.

Kathy asks that doors are left open during the day, so we made sure to leave the room in presentable condition, with our clutter in the closet. I don't travel with valuables, so we did not lock the closet. When we returned each time, things had been "tidied," even in the closet, with our mildly dirty (not wet) clothes hung up. That surprised us. You should expect a similar-to-hotel experience, which is a perk if you want full housekeeping, and not so much if you assume a bit of privacy.

Overall, we were comfortable for the day and a half we were there, with a couple of surprises.
