While the space is very small, it was perfect for my purposes. Traveling for work, I just wanted a quiet, clean place to sleep and shower. The host definitely made the most of the space and it was very clean and comfy. Small for two people but perfect for solo travel. Easy check in process and access to a garage or driveway for parking (although my last night, someone parked in my spot, so I parked on the street - not a problem. Again, perfect for my work stay.

We really like the area and the building is walkable to were we go. Our room is over a garage but more than enough space for me and my fiancé. The patio area outside of the room is a nice spot to hangout and watch a sunset or just chit chat. The room even had a hot plate. We didn't need to use it. Still good to know. We'll for sure be back when we go out that way again. Also, the food by the water is so good.

Comfortable and charming

Stayed one night at the end of a tour of northern CA. Close to the beach and some good restaurants and breakfast places. Private little deck to watch the light fade over the bay with a beer or the complimentary bottle of wine. I would definitely recommend staying here
