Erik's place was great and just what we needed. We were traveling with a two year old, so it was nice having a private space where he could wake up at 4 a.m. (he's an early riser in Central time, so he was an even earlier riser in Pacific time, to which he never adjusted) and stomp around for a bit before we got out and about for the day. There was a coffee shop, a breakfast place, and a sports bar style restaurant with a kids menu all just around the block, all of which we visited (the coffee shop daily, they were rad). There was a large park within walking distance (Crown Point park, a few blocks away), and other attractions, like the Zoo and the beach, were a short drive away. Great spot, and Erik was a really helpful, friendly host!
