We loved staying at Michael's place in Davenport.
Host-very responsive and pleasant
Place-Quiet bedroom, despite being next to the highway. Dramatic Mexican tile in the bathroom. Well equipped kitchen. Couch and day bed in the living room both big enough for this 5'3"er to sleep comfortably. Ample extra blankets. Gas fireplace in the living room. The day bed has a trundle bed to make a full bed but we couldn't get that to work. Michael may have fixed this already. The highway noise is not bad at night. Smart TV where you can access your hulu or netflix account. We didn't hear the other guests in the adjacent space. There were a couple people maintaining the container garden on the side of the house and in the daytime we could see them through the window and hear them, which was fine. There were a few fragrance diffusers throughout the house. I imagine Michael would take them out if you are allergic.
Location-We loved this spot. The place is between bakery, great Mexican food at Cemitas, friendly store open into the evening, live music at Davenport Inn and wine tasting. We also went up the road to Swanton's for organic unionized farm stand and pastry/pie and Pie Ranch for the same. And bought fresh eggs in Pescadero from a guy who sells eggs from his backyard hens (and gave us tomatoes from his garden), which went great with fresh made tortillas from Cemitas.
I thought beach was right across the street but access is a little more complicated than that. If you are not comfortable with a short steep clamber, for Shark Fin cove, cross the road by Davenport Inn and look for a sign and a gap in the nasturtiums for an easier way down to the beach. And Davenport beach proper has a steep path down with a rope to help pull yourself back up.
