This was my first time booking through Airbnb, and I found the experience to be quite pleasant! Gary was available to answer questions I had up to the point our reservation started and provided clear instructions about where to park, how to check-in, etc. The space was nicely decorated and gave us just about everything we needed for our stay (including fresh linens, a mini fridge, toiletries, and excellent television services to conclude our days venturing around the area). We felt incredibly safe and at ease in the neighborhood, and were impressed by how close the location was to where we wanted to be. The focus of our trip wasn't necessarily to be at the beach the entire time, but it was a quick and easy drive when we did get around to it, while also being a straight shot to nearby freeways. We hope to be back again in the future, and are happy we booked our first stay at Gary's place. It goes without saying that everyone's needs are going to be different, but we highly recommend booking a stay here!
