We stayed with Nancy for about five days. The location is nice (approximately 70 yards from an ocean view). The home was well equipped as long as you plan on eating out or microwaving every meal. The check in process was quick and easy with no direct contact needed with the host.
There is a Ring camera installed on the door to the guest suite which was not disclosed in the listing (unsure whether it is recording all the time or not).
The listing stated that there was a "spa accent bathroom" and what is there is a stand in shower with a window that was not operable.
The unit does not face the ocean as the listed states but does give you a view from the side edge of the property beyond the bluffs.
There was not enough space for proper trash disposal at this location and we wound up taking trash with us to nearby convenience stores as well as leaving a majority of the recyclable material inside of the unit when we left (after messaging Nancy along about additional space for disposal).
The small trash can outside had garbage in it when we arrived and then was not emptied again until after we checked out.
There is an adjoining door between the guest space and Nancy's. We had placed our drinking water against this door after we arrived. After returning from a day trip we found that the water had been moved and appeared to have been pushed by the door (as it was in a parallel line to the door as if it had been pushed open into our space).
Halfway through our visit repairmen arrived to service the bathroom window (Nancy had advised me that they would be there on this day). Due to poor cell service I did not receive a message from Nancy stating that she wanted them to go to her portion of the house first. Nancy then came to the guest suite and told me about this. I told her that I would tell them and she followed me into the apartment without being invited in.
The repairmen continued working on the bathroom window and then stopped halfway through the process stating they needed to work on the main portion of the house before continuing (after Nancy had come in to the apartment and then leaving).
After about thirty minutes the repairmen returned, with Nancy, and came back into the home to work on the window. After getting back to the window the repairmen informed her that they would have to order parts to complete the repairs.
Nancy has many books in her apartment that she allows her guests to have access to. After we checked out I received a message from Nancy asking if we had taken one of her books because a cleaner reported "one or two" of them missing. I informed her that we had not and she became very pushy that we may have done so by accident even going as far as sending me a photo of her book shelf showing the space that the book had been in. After telling her multiple times that we had not taken one of her books I advised that she double check with her cleaners.
The manner in which the "missing book" was brought to my attention felt like an accusation instead of an inquiry (specifically because I had to answer the same question multiple times).
Nancy's home was clean and served as a nice base camp for our trip. For the amount of hassle that was endured it was not worth the price paid. I do not feel that I should have been used as a middle man for her repairs. I suggest anyone in the future take a photo of the book shelves before checking out since there is a $20 charge per book that is "accidentally taken" by guests.
