The house is accessed off the alley, which got very little traffic during my stay. There is a remote to open the gate off the alley to an area you can park your car. Once closed, the site is secure and your car is out of sight from the alley.
There is also a secure gate to use in accessing the site - for example if you are walking or riding bikes.
I used the bike on the first day I arrived. It was in excellent repair, and did the job for beach cruising.
The house was very clean and inviting. I told Mo that I could happily and comfortably live back there full time, and I meant it. The bed was comfortable.
The roof deck is easily accessed via a spiral staircase. I sat up there for a bit each day.
I used the BBQ in the yard a couple times. It is very clean and well maintained. The kitchen has a 2 burner hot plate. There is also a microwave, and a toaster in the cabinet, which I used. The Keurig got plenty of use while I was there.
The gardener comes through on Tuesdays, and I saw him briefly during my stay. He keeps the grounds tidy and well maintained.
The neighborhood is quiet, yet close to the beach. I never heard a thing during the nights. I slept very well there. I did not need to use the heating or air conditioning during my stay. Just opened the windows, and had a nice breeze.
Based on the ad, I had a pretty high expectation for the accommodation, and I was not disappointed in any way. I'd like to move in permanently, but alas, probably not in the cards.
