Do yourself a favor and book this place! I had the most relaxing and beautiful time at Shiva and Demetri's little abode Living on the Edge. The view of the canyon and the ocean from the bed and porch was awe inspiring and rejuvenating. It truly matches the pictures, you have your own private view! Coming up and down the mountain to get to this oasis also filled me with joy and I found myself smiling non-stop at the incredible sights. While standing on the porch or poking your head out the window you can see a variety of birds soaring around the canyon. I saw hawks circling and floating on the wind, humming birds came almost right up to me to say hi, and one morning there was a flock of what seemed to be green parrots that flew down into the hills looking for food. At night the view of the stars and moon over the canyon are so peaceful and you can see ships in the distance on the water. I was sad that my timing didn't allow for me to catch sunset from the house, but I kept the window shades open to catch sunrise in the morning over the majestic scene-which was stunning. I was in town for a conference and I have to say it was near impossible to want to leave and go into town. I loved that they had a lava lamp and salt lamp to create moody lighting at night- which I sometimes find to be a rarity at air bnbs.
The communication with the hosts was easy and fast. Demetri mostly fielded my questions and concerns and resolved any issues I had immediately. They were also so kind to offer to have me another night when my plans for my next place almost fell through. Very lovely, relaxed, helpful, and flexible hosts.
Five stars all around! I can't wait to book my next stay! Thank you Shiva and Demetri.
