Norman was a great host. He went out of his way to make sure we got a proper walk through of the house, that we had enough linens and knew how to use the heater, etc. He was very friendly.
The house is even better than it looks in the pictures; lots of bright, open space which was great for socializing, lovely wood interiors, and quaint nautical decor. Ocean is right in the backyard, which was fantastic. We also enjoyed having a fire in the fire pit.
The neighborhood is a bit marine industrial, warehouses and workshops but with apartments/homes mixed in. We never had any issues with noise or smells though. Short walk to restaurants, a brewery, and bar, which is also great.
