I have stayed at Karen's Beach Getaway several times and find it just right for one person for a short stay. Karen is a great communicator, getting back to me quickly about any questions I have. I really like the location in a safe neighborhood. This stay was a little different as Karen and members of her family were present in the main house attached to the Getaway so it was a little less private than times before...However, I got to meet my hosts (Karen for the second time) and chat with them...AND it felt more like the original intent of Airbnb when the idea was for a family with some extra living space to welcome renters and help them learn something about, and navigate around, the surrounding areas. I always liked that original intent. I would rent the Beach Getaway gain when traveling solo to the Bay Area.
