This was my first experience with AirBnB. We came here for my son's graduation from UCSC. The beach house was lovely! As described it is updated and in a nice neighborhood, just down the street literally from the beach. It was nice, cozy and crystal-clean! We were expecting the sofa to be a 'fold out' and we were not expecting to provide our own blowup mattress so this was initially a disappointment--but when we called our hostess and spoke with her about this she immediately reimbursed us for our mattress and we all felt much better! She also asked us if we needed anything else and we asked if she could provide us with a bathmat for the shower (I was worried about my elderly parents slipping in the shower) and a couple of more place settings (dishes, bowls--as there were only 4--and I asked if it was possible she could bring over a toaster--and she immediately brought over a lovely new toaster and four new plates and bowls and a shower mat ( - ;. She went above and beyond making us feel welcome and at home! ( - ;
