This place is first rate as a southern cal beach bungalow. Spotless, very cool decor. Excellent central location to immerse oneself in the OB vibe including the Wednesday night farmers market (munchie walk, great food!). The alley parking is a nice feature, as street parking faces extreme pressure from the local residents and would have been difficult. The airport traffic beginning at 7:00am (and continuing every 3 minutes) took some getting used to, but by no means was a deal killer or a trip wrecker.
Lastly, don't redact the "i" in "bitchin." Not only was this place bitchin, the context in which the word was used is not profane and eloquently phrased by Amy, Neal and Drew.
