The new studio on a steep, Pacifica hillside was exactly as the photos depicted—with the additional bonus of a garden view. Careful consideration has gone into both the design and the details as in, for example, a narrow, tall refrigerator with an ample freezer, and three-ways to make coffee (brew, drip, and French-press—my favorite). The hosts welcomed me with organic, high-quality breakfast ingredients and drinks with my dietary considerations in mind. This studio was the cleanest one I’ve stayed-in since it is also the newest; in-time, more character will develop to reflect the uniqueness of its owners and people who have overnighted; I contributed a really good Artic exploration book that I finished to the built-in shelf, above the comfortable
bed, to that end. In time, the shelf will fill with the stories of others and from others. Of course, I would recommend this quiet hideaway in a windy beach town (directly adjacent to San Francisco) and wish the hosts best wishes for maturing their well-priced Airbnb below their suburban residence.
