We loved staying at Michael's place and will be back. The back yard has an orange tree and a flowering trees, there's outside space to contemplate and a table outside for working or eating. The inside is a bigger space than pictured. That was a nice surprise. Michael left some snacks, wine and tea. He was amazingly responsive and so nice. I stayed with my two college kids and we all loved it. the block they are on is residential and far enough from PB so you don't get all the noise but close enough to walk to the beach or many many restaurant choices. I'd say that you've got to be Boho or open minded to stay here because the toilet enclosed but outside and cold at night and there's a great shower outside and enclosed. Things work but aren't perfect. If new, orderly and contemporary is your thing this place is not for you. If your spiritual and all embracing this it your place! :) We'll be back.
