It was a secluded cottage in the city close to bars, restaurants and the ocean! Great backyard for visiting and open concept inside worked well with a young family. The ant problem and appliances could be troublesome if anyone was staying for longer than one week. The host did offer to come in and fix things, but we were staying for a short time so told him not to worry. The host made available to us a small wagon, a high chair and a packnplay which made our visit easier. We were comfortable staying there!
