We loved staying at Carols place as it was very comfortable and cozy and a very quiet neighborhood and when we got home at the end of the day from touring and just wanted to rest it was perfect. We are runners and enjoyed the park 2 blocks away and running by the ocean. There were great restaurants, bakery and bars near by when we wanted to stay close by. We did have a car but used a lot of public transportation. Definitely would recommend Carols place.
