My family of 4 stayed at Janet's place for 6 nights after reading the wonderful reviews on Airbnb. I'd have to say I completely agree why this home is highly rated! The apartment is in an excellent and safe location - literally a 2 minute walk to the beach, conveniently located to main shopping areas and tons of really good restaurants, and so close to the bus stop (the transit system is great and easy to navigate for tourists with Google Maps as your guide). We appreciated the availability of a full kitchen (we always ate breakfast in and even managed to cook dinner a couple of times) and a washer/dryer. The shower was a bit small but serviceable. Janet has thought of everything to make your stay comfortable with cookware, beach towels/items and even an umbrella (it didn't rain much during the time we were there and when it did, we dried up quickly because it was so hot). We also appreciated her quick response to questions we had. Be sure to check out the numerous magazines available to tourists for special discount coupons on dining and attractions. We rented a car for a few days and were lucky to find free parking at a street about 20 minutes away (you could also park a bit closer at a 24 hour coffee shop for $25 a night). We made the right choice about staying at this apartment. It saved us a lot of money, we had plenty of space to unwind after a long day of sightseeing (my sons and husband didn't have to fight over the TV as there are 2 of them) and it felt like our home away from home. Mahalo Janet!
