Communication with the host was great, he was very on top of it and ensured that everything was OK during the trip. I was a bit upset about the fact that the only bathroom was inside the bedroom, which forced the second person to come in and out of my bedroom throughout the night. Also, the area is a little off putting. You're stuck in the middle of tons of other houses and there are dogs barking periodically throughout the night. The closest beach is about 10 minutes driving. You can walk to the Whole Foods plaza within 10-15 minutes.
Overall the unit had everything you would need to have a good basic stay. For the price, you definitely get what you pay for.
