This place was amazing! So beautifully and thoughtfully designed - everything we needed was already considered and in place. Dianne's communication was excellent throughout and she regularly checked in to make sure we had what we needed and had all the info for check in, check out, and our stay, without being intrusive at all. The place is just one block from the awesome Pacific Ave with great shops (Crossroads Thrift Store - the best!) and tons of restaurants and ice cream shops and movie theaters, and just a two minute drive to the beach. The block feels a bit grungy, but we felt safe and the apartment is secluded in the back. There are neighbors that live in the apartment adjoining the air bnb and they coughed a lot, which we could hear, but it wasn't a big deal at all and would certainly not deter us from staying there again and recommending it to anyone. The set up of the apartment is excellent for a family - two separate rooms with locked doors for sleeping, a fully stocked beautiful kitchen and dining room, and cute living area. I was there with my 12-year-old and her friend and they were thrilled to find Scrabble and Uno in the drawers and to make breakfast every morning. It was such a pleasure to stay there - a great experience for all of us. Highly recommended! :)
