Yes, the view is great and could easily distract from shortcomings, but that is not the case at all--the home is as beautiful as what's outside the window. Clean, well appointed, welcoming, quiet, spacious, it sometimes made it hard to want to venture out.
And Paula is the perfect host, at the ready when needed, but with a bias toward giving guests their space.
Truly, one of the best Airbnb experiences we've had.
