Holly was an amazing host, very caring and accommodating. I had some health problems during the stay and she didn't hesitate to help. I loved the neighborhood as well, it's pretty close to downtown, Hawthorne district and other cool areas. I was on a budget and rode buses all week which were super convenient and reliable. If you don't feel like getting out of the neighborhood everything's right there. Whole Foods is a block away, there're also tons of bars and restaurants all walking distance. There's even a movie theatre with pizza and wine!
I stayed at the beach room. It was nice & cozy with plenty of closet space and shelving to put your staff away. The bed was comfy with lots of different pillows to suit your taste. The shower was nothing fancy but served the purpose just fine. Holly and her family provided everything I needed and even more! Overall, it was a wonderful time with great people!
