Gene was an extremely generous host, making great conversation and encouraging us to feel as if we were at home. His home was conveniently located near our daughter's school, PLNU, as well as being blocks from a nice grocery store, a great breakfast spot and of course the beach (a bit farther than a few, but minutes away). He supplied us with coffee and breakfast makings and encouraged us to have our daughter over to watch a movie. Overall, a positive experience for our first time with Airbnb.
