This is a spacious, comfortable, quiet, very nicely appointed unit in a quiet, pretty neighborhood in the hills above El Granada. It has its own entrance & its own small patio with an ocean view. The hosts are friendly but totally unobtrusive. Occasionally we could hear footsteps above, but it was never bothersome, and the pitter-patter of doggie footsteps was actually a very cute sound. We appreciated the little basket of snacks & the coffee.
I guess one could walk down into town; it's very steep & there aren't really sidewalks much of the way, however. Nearby hikes/walks include Quarry Park with lovely wooded trails; the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve north of town for tide-pooling; and the Coastal Trail wending its way along the shoreline. We enjoyed breakfast at The Press & dinner at La Costanera. Both places have first-come/first-served outdoor seating. We didn't cook in the unit, but we could have; the kitchen is well-equipped.
A very comfortable, peaceful stay.
