We missed out on meeting Anja but Evan is a super friendly host, incredibly hospitable even when busy, and an awesome baker. Down for a chat, some shared moments and generous with his attention, it was just like meeting up with an old friend I didn't realize I had lost. He was also über-patient with our small child in spite of the added noise & occasional messes. The surfing near their house is great and frankly if you're headed to Monterey Bay the Aquarium pass makes the price of the stay more than worth it. We are really looking forward to staying here again in the near future.
