Stop looking and stay with Howard. The location was fantastic. So easy to get to the city by car or rail (we did both) and then you have this great place right on the ocean for the mornings and evenings. The room was great. We liked the privacy provided by being separated from the main house. We used the hot tub with no problem. Fridge for drinks. Howard was a great host. We were really nervous about using the city transit because we don't live where they have transit. We ended up taking Howard to the station so he could go to work and he showed us where to get off for Alcatraz. After a long day we actually forgot where we parked the car. We were getting nervous and i was just getting ready to call Howard when the phone rang as he was checking to see if we were okay. It was 9:30 pm. We told him we can't find the car. He walked us step by step from the station to the car. That was much appreciated and lowered the blood pressure. Great location, great room, great host.
