Paul was very easy to contact and gave us specific instructions on how to get to the place and explained all the workings of the airbnb. Location was also perfect for us cause we wanted to go to Santa Cruz as well as Big Basin.
However, we made the mistake of not checking the amenities that came with the house. THIS AIRBNB DOES NOT COME WITH WIFI (just a warning in case you missed it like I did). In addition, it says that there are 2 queen beds, 2 sofa beds and 2 air mattresses. The sofa beds he is referring to is a large sofa (not a bed) and a pull-out futon, which was very hard to pull out.
The airbnb is also dirtier than I expected. Just little things to mention, but there are cobwebs several places in the house, and I was sneezing the whole time (I'm guessing due to the dust). The bathroom water in one of the showers is also very weak and would occasionally change to super cold or super hot water in the middle of showers. We also found some spiders during our trip...
In addition, the noise is a really big problem. Paul does state in the rules that we need to be quiet after 10pm for the family that were living in the house below. We did stay up later than that, however we were only playing card games and talking. I'm guessing the floor is pretty thin so they could hear our footsteps and voices, but Paul told us we got a complaint for being too noisy and accused us of using his home as a college party house, which is not true.
Overall, we had a good experience with Paul expect for the Wifi (which he did say was not included), the noise being bigger of an issue than we thought it would be, and the cleanliness of the airbnb.
This place is definitely better for a family than a group of friends who like to chat till late at night. If you think you can't sleep by 10pm, you really shouldn't consider this airbnb though, will be better for you and the family downstairs.
