The location is ideal. It's really nice to be able to see the ocean from the garden area (view is through an alley, but it's still very nice). The cottage is a converted garage, the floor covered by rugs. Above the main 2-person bed (futon mattress), there is a loft with another bed suitable for 1 person. No oven, but there is a hotplate and microwave. There is a washer/dryer in the unit. There is a private entrance/exit to an alley with a private parking spot. Portia is a super nice lady, and very hospitable. There was some fruit and food goodies waiting for us upon arrival, and she went out of her way to show us the garden (which has very lovely plants). If you are a really light sleeper, you may wake up in the AM from noise coming from the alley (trash truck Monday mornings, fitness class in a nearby building, etc). Overall, it's a great place to stay in an wonderful location - a relaxed environment with simple furnishings.
