Columba's apt is very well-located on a quiet street very near a beautiful beach and boardwalk. Parking is included, along with an excellent breakfast, both of which were much appreciated. Columba is very nice, and helpful, as were the two gentlemen who substituted for her to make breakfast in the morning most of the week while she was away. The view from the living room balcony is very nice, though not quite as spectacular as the web notice suggests -- mostly you see rooftops. Check-in and check-out went smoothly.

Two drawbacks preclude a five-star rating in this instance:

(1) The room we rented was very small (barely big enough to accommodate a bed) and not very well-ventilated and the bed mattress was thin and not very uncomfortable. (I am of the view that people who rent rooms on Airbnb should invest in first-rate mattresses for their guests -- as I did for my Airbnb guests in DC -- so that is a pet peeve of mine.) Also, a house/street light shines in your eyes while sleeping, even when the louvre slats are down, unless you also close the curtain, which will block the flow of fresh air.

(2) The apartment is very small. There are two bedrooms whose occupants must share a bath across the hall and the owner lives in a third bedroom right across the hall as well, adjacent to the bathroom. So with both rooms rented there would be up to 5 people crammed into a very small 3 bedroom apartment, with up to 4 guests side-by-side sharing one bathroom, providing very little privacy, particularly if you keep the door open to get some needed cross-ventilation.

For some travelers, privacy may not matter. Indeed, you may like the company. So long as you know what you are getting for the price, $110/night to 2 guests, you can make an informed decision. We personally felt that price was a bit steep for what we got.
