This place is located in a great area. We took a trip up Pacific Coast Highway and it only took us 10 minutes to get on the road. It was around a $7 uber ride to places near the mission and there are so many options for food within walking distance. We also had a rental car and Rico provided a spot for us that was directly outside the house. There is also street parking in case that spot is taken.
The bathroom was just fine. When we read about the small shower we were a little worried but it worked out perfectly. Plus there are plenty of mirrors in the unit to use outside of the bathroom while someone else is getting ready.
The patio area was beautiful! Just a little too cool for us to enjoy.
The biggest thing to work around is the noise at 6am when they get ready for work. Rico does provide ear plugs, however it is still loud. You can hear water rushing and footsteps. If you are a light sleeper, this might be something to note.
Things to note :
-There are 2 cameras on the entry door at all times. While there isn't anything wrong with security, this wasn't stated and took away from the privacy of having your own space.
-READ THE GUIDEBOOK before entering the space! Rico has a lot of rules and we missed the fact that we needed to register each person staying in the unit.
-The futon couch in the listing is broken and does not open as a bed.
-The guidebook states that you can have 2-3 people in the space, however, Rico said that isn't the case anymore and we were charged for the 3rd person. I suggest asking before you book if you plan to have more than 2 people.
-The heating is controlled by Rico upstairs. Any time you want it adjusted you have to ask.
