Top tier Airbnb. We stayed for SIX WEEKS and had a sublime experience at Michelle and Pete’s place. If we loved it, you shouldn’t hesitate, but if you need more convincing read on...
Hosts: Michelle, Pete and their family are lovely and friendly. Their easy-going nature made our stay very special. You can tell they love their life in HMB and want you to enjoy it as they do. Always quick with a smile and friendly chat but never felt like we didn’t have our own space. They always made sure we were stocked with amenities and quick on responses.
Location: AMAZING. Seriously dream-like. Listened to waves as we fell asleep. 5 min walk to the coastal bluff trail, 10 mins to the beach steps, 2 min drive to groceries/restaurants, 1 min to highway 1. We caught so many beautiful sunsets and really enjoyed the beach. There’s dozens of hikes within a 30 min drive. Recommend the Old Colma Road Loop and the Pedro Point Headlands/Devils Slide! For restaurants do not sleep on Cafe Capistrano, ARK, Barbara’s Fishtrap, or HMB Kebab those were our favorites.
Space: Modern and comfortable as described. Super clean. Nests, heated floors, automatic light sensors/dimmers. Beds are super comfortable, especially the upstairs one. Cozy little living room situation upstairs with 4k smart TV and comfy couch. I used the upstairs bedroom as an office space, which worked well enough. The wifi is EXCELLENT here - a rare find among rental spaces. We were both working from here long term - video calls, streaming, VPN, all flawless. The kitchen is great, but would recommend you bring some essentials for long term stay if you plan to cook a lot or ask the hosts. Parking super easy in the driveway which was nice but there’s plenty of street parking.
Overall amazing stay. Riding out winter here instead of Chicago was one of the better decisions we’ve ever made.
