Elaine's place is magnificant! I absolutely loved staying there. This was my first airbnb experience, and it couldn't have been much better. Elaine met me and gave me the key, even sharing some maps of the area, and helping me best ways to get to the city. I felt super safe, and right at home. Elaine's place smelled so nice, so fresh every time I came in after a long day. The bed, Sleep Number, my first, I slept like a baby! I loved the deck, and enjoyed it every evening. The view is spectacular. I enjoyed the massage chair, which really relaxed me after a busy day. The couch was very comfy, and the soft plush blanket was just right for watching TV. I ate at the lovely dining room table often, and used the fridge and oven. Everything I needed was right there. The bathroom towels were super plush, and plenty of counter space. The washer and dryer was super handy and allowed me to pack lighter and wash and wear again.
I did not go to the Amphitheater, pool, or gym, but wish I had.
I would recommend parking in the open outdoor parking. I found it most convenient, and I felt very safe there. I could always find a space. I also recommend Le Boulanger for breakfast. I simply walked downstairs, ordered, than brought it back up. And, it's a beautiful view through the courtyard, if you get off on the 1st floor to get there. They serve Peets. I'm now in love with Peets coffee, too, and brought some home. I also recommend grabbing necessities (including wine, a necessity:)) at Whole Foods and Sprouts super close, but not walkable. I really loved Tofu Plus, and I would definitely go there again. I also liked City Fish. Both were nearby.
Don't forget ... no shoes inside. Keeps the carpet nice.
