We did not feel welcome. We felt as if Dan was terribly concerned that we might disrespect his house. That is not who we are or what we do. The house is exactly as shown and was lovely and pleasant to stay in. Bright, clean and fresh. The listing states that there are free laundry facilities but that has changed to $5 per load if you ask permission. My biggest disappointment was a strange misunderstanding around access to the deck and garden. One of the main reasons I chose this house was the view of the ocean from the deck. The door in the large bedroom to the deck was locked from the outside effectively preventing any and all access to the "sunny deck/patio", etc. That still hasn't been satisfactorily resolved and won't be. The dishwasher was disconnected or inoperable as a note to prospective renters. Perfect location for our frequent SF visits but we weren't a good match for the host.
