We loved the location of the house! It's situated in a quiet residential neighborhood, right across from a wooded area (park). It is 5 minutes away from the Aquarium, Cannery Row, Safeway, Trader Joe's, and the beach. The house is older with older fixtures and cabinets but is very clean and light! We had everything we needed (Keurig, hot shower, plenty of towels). The thermostat worked great! A great bonus was two passes to the Aquarium, which saved us $100. The only thing I would change were the beds (uncomfortable), however, a mattress topper for the beds and the pullout couch would be an easy fix! We are grateful to the hosts for their hospitality.
