Carmel was a friendly host and very easy to communicate with. The house is also in a great location and we were able to walk to the Bishop Arts area within 5-10 minutes so I'd definitely recommend it if walkability is important to you.
Unfortunately the bathrooms hadn't been cleaned and weren't being cleaned regularly: there was hair on top of the shower drains, mold on the sink faucets and showers, and everything smelled a little moldy. Also the coffee maker and carafe hadn't been cleaned. We didn't contact the owner to clean the bathrooms when we saw this because this was clearly something that had built up over time and wasn't something they missed just this once- and we still needed somewhere to stay.
Overall the house was fine and would have been a great place to stay if it had been cleaner but it was pretty gross using the bathrooms with the condition they were in.
