Kristin's place was very clean when we entered. The area is pretty good. There is a park right behind but we never went in it. Parking was always open right in front of the place!(except the morning of street cleaning which is to be expected.) Kristin was very easy to get in contact with when we had a hiccup with the lock box. Their pizza place is pretty yummy I'd suggest hitting it up. the BNB not far from the highway so if you don't hit California traffic its easy to get to attractions. =) This was my first time using an Airbnb and I for sure see myself using more in the future!
