Walter was a flexible and accommodating host! I came from two counties away to escape the smoke from the wildfires. I had some special circumstances and special requests, and Walter graciously told me what he could and could not do. He was able to fill most of the requests, and more importantly he was friendly about it and super timely about responding to me :-)
The place is exactly how it looks in the pictures. It is a large, comfy, bedroom with a full bath and a small “eating nook” in between them. I could tell my host had taken pains to make me feel welcome: there were folded up towels waiting for me on the bed, complementary snacks, coffee and tea in the eating area and little samplers of hand lotion in the bathroom. The bathroom looked like it had just been scrubbed, And the sheets smelled pleasant and freshly washed.
The only things that would make this place better are things that you would have to pay more than $85 a night for. There’s not a full kitchen, just a microwave and a fridge. And the lighting is a little dim because it is a downstairs apartment. However, the hosts described it very accurately, so I was not expecting anything different. To offset The lack of natural lighting within, there is a beautiful view of the ocean from a small deck, right outside the french doors. One can also walk outside through the hills of the quiet, suburban neighborhood, getting even more views of the bay.
Overall, this is a great value for the price and I really appreciated my stay here!
