Karl's place was close to the beach and local eateries. We especially liked the Java Earth coffee shop around the corner on Cass...good coffee, sandwiches and pastries. The apartment is in a 4 unit condo. Karl owns and lives in one of these units and he rents out his extra rooms. My wife and I had a private bedroom and bath. An adjacent extra room was a bonus. We had full use of the kitchen and dining area. We were there about a week and got to know the local environs a bit...PB is fun! We only saw Karl briefly, but our brief interactions were very pleasant...he's laid back and unassuming. We recommend Karl's place if you are looking for a nice, easy place to stay in PB. -Jim and Cil
