Location, location, location. It is so close to I5 and the airport but tucked away on a side street and very quiet. Short driving distance to several great beaches. Easy to find. Comfortable room and open/bright shared spaces that I felt welcome to spend time in. Mark and Kathy are wonderful hosts: friendly, welcoming, easy-going, and respectful of my plans/space. They offered recommendations for sites and restaurants that were spot on. I even came home with a souvenir from the local beach - thank you Kathy and Mark. I definitely recommend your home away from home to other travelers.
