Even though I did not get the chance to meet Sam (the host) since he was out of town, I couldn't have asked for a better stay. His assistant Matt and the cleaning person Elda made sure that everything and I mean EVERYTHING! was always up to the best standards. The house was cleaned daily and my private room and bathroom were always well maintained. The place is beautiful with multiple places to just sit and enjoy the California weather and the neighborhood is quiet but in a very good location no more that 15 min away from both downtown and the best beached on the north side of town. Seriously, I cannot say enough positive things about this place. Next time I'm in town, I'll stay here for sure.
