Marina is a great host very personable and interesting. The house is clean and has new carpet so shoes off at the door. My bedroom had a very comfortable queen bed, a mini fridge, ceiling fan and collapsable table and chair and overlooked a rambling succulent garden. Marina offers tea and the use of the microwave - I brought in oatmeal and snacks ( used the mini fridge) and instant coffee - there is a French press. The bathroom is shared but I didn't wait at all and it was no problem. I used Uber to get around $9.00 to get to the Village and beach at Capitola - quick and easy and no parking issues. Overall this home is great value and comfortable and I will stay here again.
