Lynda is a gracious host. The space served the purpose for my son and I for one evening. It was in a great location after a day at the beach and then to head out for dinner. The downstairs apartment however is a loud space depending on what is going on upstairs, you can hear everything. Regardless, every toilet flush upstairs can be heard as a loud gush through the pipes... including 5 am flushes. The space it itself is homey and is equipped with all you need.
