It's true - fabulous, blue, ocean view (well, the ocean is very far away, but the view actually stretches all that way, which is - fabulous!) The room is pretty, very clean and comfortable; simple but with thoughtful touches. There are a couple of other guest rooms in the lower portion of this large family home, but although the baths are shared, there are 2 (!) on the lower level alone, so it's quite like having a private bath.
Lulu, too, is fabulous. So charming, so warm and welcoming. Very considerate of her guests - our comfort, safety and sense of welcome in her home were clearly paramount. The only thing that was a tiny bit awkward for me was - she doesn't like to give the key code to short-term guests, and I knew I would be late coming back on the night I stayed. I just wished there had been some other way so that I wouldn't have had to phone her to be admitted to the house. She was completely gracious about it, but I did feel like I was being rude to my hostess to disturb her at midnight!
I have a dream of booking this room for a 2-week writing retreat.
Sigh.
