We felt very welcome. The apartment is separate from the house so we didn't see much of our hosts but when when we did they were very gracious and helpful. This place really couldn't have been better. She had everything you could possibly need. The kitchen was perfect. We went to Whole Foods(right down the street) and made meals in the apartment which saved us some cash! We were right down the street from the ocean and a block's walk from restaurants. Get fresh squeezed juice at the cow's end! So delicious. We were so happy and impressed with our stay!
