We were traveling as a family of 5 for a local wedding, and this was the perfect place for us. Every detail was thought of, and the instruction book they put together was so thorough that we had no questions unanswered. We are originally from the area so it was awesome to settle into a quiet neighborhood that were familiar with. That being said- I would like to point out a few things to other renters that we didn't find surprising but others might.
This is a wonderful established neighborhood driving distance from downtown, the boardwalk, the redwoods, the university and the beach, but far enough that you don't deal with any of the congestion from the attractions. The house itself lends itself to family time, with a stereo as opposed to a tv in the living space, the dining room opens to the kitchen so everyone can help with dinner. The home owners encourage recycling and composting , and there is beautiful art everywhere. I'd like to thank the homeowners for welcoming us into their space that allowed for such a great family weekend.
