I was here for 2 months and immediately felt at home. I arrived early and Daphne effortlessly accommodated me. Her communication before, during and as I was leaving was great. On day one, I arrived and basically went down to the little store/deli on the corner to get a few supplies because for days 2 & 3 I had intense Zoom interviews for a job back on the East Coast, so I was up at 5:30am those days and online for hours--never any problem with the internet at all (and I got the job!). Day 4 I was still amped up and in "Take care of business" mode and so I did my taxes! Then I switched to vacation mode and the rest of my stay was brilliant. I had the use of the car, which was fantastic and it even made getting lost, occasionally, fun!
I had a couple of friends visit me and so used the air mattress Daphne provided and set it up in the living room--each guess said they had not had such a deep and restful sleep in a long time--the cool night breeze lulled them to sleep and even the roosters crowing in the morning didn't bother them (though they were up early due to being on East Coast time)--it was delightful to have my guest feel so comfortable.
I appreciated how Daphne checked in on me and made me feel that I could ask her for anything I might need or questions I wanted to ask. She was a great host who was not intrusive, but I never felt abandon. The place had just about everything, but it (and Daphne) seemed very relaxed and unpretentious and when I asked about getting something for the apartment (the wagon to carry all the stuff to the beach), Daphne was happy to repay me and so I left it for the next guest--it made life sooo much easier!! Just roll on over to the beach with all your stuff in 12 min!
I also loved that the kitchen was stocked with those items that you need when you arrive, but don't usually want to buy because you know so much of it will go to waste--coffee filters, olive oil, spices, etc. So I was happy to buy the few things I needed (salt, sun screen, etc.) for the next guests, knowing that the people before me had done the same. Daphne even had it pretty well-stocked with tp, paper towels, q-tips, etc.)
The worst part of my stay was actually having to leave--I got so comfortable there and in the neighborhood, I just felt like I lived there!! I fully recommend the place.
