Chuck was super-duper helpful in making us feel welcome -- he explained all the logistics about the cottage in detail, and even took us for a stroll around the neighborhoods to show us the best restaurants, the beach, and the Newport Avenue scene -- really helped orient to the surroundings. OB is a really groovy place, kind of like a little hippie/surfer village in the middle of a big city. Chuck was an ideal host, making sure we had everything we needed and making himself available for any further support needed.
