I loved staying in Esther & Kevin's little studio. It was bright and comfortable with everything I needed for my short stay or for a longer one. Nice shower, easy coffee making, glasses and dishes for simple cooking & eating.
Esther & Kevin are both incredibly friendly and welcoming, without being intrusive. They have a great manual of all sorts of recommendations and use a label maker really effectively around the studio. First time garbage & recycling expectations have been crystal clear in an Airbnb and I appreciated that.
Being two blocks from the ocean was as special as I'd hoped. I could hear the waves from bed and enjoyed borrowing a bike to ride along the shoreline.
Downtown was easy to reach using the LRT / tram / streetcar.
