We stayed 5 nights at Bills house and I would summarise as follows
Pros:
Very well located for numerous attractions - minutes from the freeway and quick access to the beaches and downtown
Amazing view of the fireworks every night from the living room - a memorable highlight for kids
Large spacious living dining area and master bedroom - with great views.
Great dining table overlooking the views
Bill is incredibly responsive and keen to make sure you are comfortable - nothing feels like too much trouble - he is a great host
Cons:
the property is relatively near the freeway and looks over it .
important if you are noise sensitive but appreciate some won’t be bothered - we did get somewhat accustomed to the traffic noise but it did impact how much we opened the windows especially upstairs (important given the hot weather we had and no AC which the hosts are very upfront about). It also meant we chose not to sit on the patios.
