Came down for a couple nights from Los Angeles on a last-minute solo trip to relax, rest, read and write.
Impressed and grateful for the extraordinary hospitality from Mary. She's also a warm, charismatic person who seems to really respect the space and privacy of her guests.
As a host, the communication was always incredibly quick and efficient. When I inquired about a desk for the room, literally within minutes she was at my door with a desk and chair! Super clear, succinct, step-by-step instructions for check in and check out.
Mary was generous enough to allow me to use a bathtub that was available in another room (my room only had a shower). I can't thank her enough for this kindness... even though I fear that it created extra work for her. Thank you!
This suite has a huge glass patio door that exits out onto a private terrace with a fire pit. I was lucky enough to enjoy the privacy of this terrace during my stay - this terrace is connected to another patio/terrace a few stair steps below, but no other guests were outside this weekend... the total outdoor privacy with that view was divine!
The fire pit is gas operated and super easy and safe to light - and effective at providing warmth on a cool, windy February mornings. I was able to sit out there and write, while overlooking the ocean, which is all my heart desired when I booked this room.
Sparkling clean house and room. I could almost see my reflection on the granite sink in the bathroom ;). High quality bed and luxury bedding - probably the nicest softest, high thread count sheets I've ever experienced at an Airbnb (and I've stayed at a lot!).
The suite is at the end of a hallway with two other guest rooms. It is the closest room to the garage door entrance on the side of house. Just a note that other guests do use this entrance, so it's not completely private (I did hear people coming and going throughout the day) but not a problem.
The house is in a very nice, quiet residential area. Easy street parking. Ended up being easiest to drive to the Village by the coast (seemed like a longer walk than I was up for... might have taken about 25-30 min :)
Lovely stay, thank you!
