Bob and Franni were very nice hosts. They certainly make their guests feel welcome and at home. Bob taught me how to use the public transit and Franni got me in touch with her son so I could learn to surf. They are very kind and helpful. They even celebrated my birthday which was lovely since I was away from my family and friends. They also always have suggestions for things to do, see, or places to go. The neighborhood is really nice, it's on a hill which over looks the bay/ocean. Also it's a great work out going to the bus stop which is also really close (but at the bottom of the hill). Bob and Franni also have a beautiful home. Junior is the sweetest most well tempered dog I've met, and Spice is just happy to sit near you while you are working. Franni is more than willing to make sure you are comfortable. She frequently asked if I needed food, or if I needed extra blankets. She is very much like a second mother. They both provide a very loving environment. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone who doesn't want to interact with their hosts. Bob and Franni are definitely hands-on hosts. But if you choose to stay here you will never feel alone, or bored. I had such a great experience, and I think Bob and Franni are the best hosts. i felt very comfortable, and happy. I think they far beyond exceeded my expectations in the best way.
