Karine is a gracious and communicative hostess. Her home is serene and spotless and looks to be one of the originals to the area. The neighborhood is cozy and the parking is easy and free. The house is a walk and short drive to many sites, including museums, shops and the ocean. Her home is as lovely as photos indicate, which is not always the case, as photos with a fisheye lens create the illusion of space where there really isn't any; but Karine's photos depicted all accurately. Just a great stay.
