We stayed at Franz's place for a long weekend and we loved it! The house is located on a quiet and beautiful street (you will feel really safe here), yet you can easily walk to Garnet street within 10 minutes for restaurants and bars. The master bedroom we stayed is spacious with its private bathroom. So lots of privacy! Our room has a direct access to the pretty outdoor patio that we love. As coffee lovers, we are really happy that we can use the coffee maker at Franz's house. :-)
Franz is so kind and let us borrow his two bikes (thanks again) so of course we went for bike tours. One night bike tour was to the seaworld then garnet street, and the other one was to the Pacific beach for sunset! Both of them were wonderful!!

Garnet street (fun place):
My boyfriend and I went to Cafe Bella Italia for happy hour (3 dollar beer, 5 dollar wine/pizza) and had a great time sitting in the patio. We also found this dive bar (PB Pub) that is really full of local fun people. Garnet street has tons of other restaurants and bars that you can explore so definitely spend sometime there! I also love the grocery store called Ralph's which is within 10 minute by bike. They have wonderful bakery session with a variety of choices. Great place for snacks and breakfast!

I would strongly recommend this place!:-)

P.S Franz is very responsive and answered our questions in time! That makes everything so much easier.
