Al's Oasis surpassed our high expectations at every level. Al is a great host, who likes to greet his guests at the start and show them how to use the back gate and keys to access the private accommodations. He honors guests preferences for being left alone or for indulging in conversation - like the long one the three of us had upon our arrival. His amazing art studio is on the same floor (a partially underground basement, with windows providing some light) as the Airbnb bedroom and bathroom. The air conditioned accommodations are bright, clean, comfortable, and artistically decorated. The only and very minor issue we had was with the short duration of hot water in the otherwise really nice large shower stall. Everything else was perfect. Al gave us great recommendations on restaurants, walking directions, and things to do. We also enjoyed meeting his wife, Judy, who drove us to a nearby cafe, sparing us a walk in a light rain. And their dog, Webster, is a sweetie! If you're thinking about choosing Al's Oasis, just do it - you'll be glad you did.
