This was such a great spot! There's a beautiful ocean view from the living room and the room and bathroom were so clean and comfortable. We were very pleased with everything! Herman was super chill and fun to talk to, and he was really great with communication. As for distance from everything, I'd say it's a good 15 minute walk to all the shopping and eateries. We rented a car and had no problem parking on the street in front of the house. Overall, the host was awesome, extremely accommodating and the room we stayed in and the bathroom near it was like staying in a hotel. We definitely recommend this place and we'd go back again!
