Franz's is the man! I stayed with some friends at his place over the 4th of July weekend and the process was all very simply and straightforward and we were all very comfortable in his home. The back patio is a great place to relax and the house is located in a wonerful location close to the beach and restaurants. The house was also perfectly situated to go down and catch plenty of fireworks shows over the bay. We did not get a chance to meet him or his family but he was most helpful in communicating information about the area and was able to provide us with parking during the busiest day of the year! Great bonus!
