El Nido is a gem of a place. The apartment is definitely stylish—that's why you're reading this!—and there are no lack of amenities to discover. My partner was an early and enthusiastic deck user. The kitchen had all the equipment needed to make a range of dishes, which is a crucial touch in a stay-at-home world. The furnishings are cozy and great to come home to. The space was also spacious enough for a pair of 6'+ people to stretch their legs and relax without an issue.
When it's time to go out, you're a short walk or drive away from supermarkets, coffeeshops, and great food. We were avid weekend hikers, and found great outdoors opportunities close by in the East Bay hills, with great parks in Marin and the Santa Cruz/Monterrey area a drivable distance away.
Francisco was warm, responsive, and unfailingly accommodating. My partner and I stayed at El Nido for a working vacation over the entire summer, and Francisco worked with us to make the space great for remote work. If you do find yourself in, the area is quiet enough during business hours for you to take your work calls and videoconferences without interruption.
Definitely recommend a stay at El Nido!
