The host was quickly responsive to any questions, including working with me to figure out payment/refund when I cut a day off my reservation. The house was in a convenient neighborhood, pleasant and pretty. It was walkable to a couple of good restaurants and a Safeway, with the downtown area just a bit farther.The one downside was that I picked this place because it had AC (because the last time I visited the area was in a heat wave with no AC!). It was again unusually hot, and the only AC was a window unit, which we ended up not using since we weren't usually there in the daytime, and at night we could open windows and use fans to blow in the cool air. But that's not what I expected when I was hunting for AC! Being a basement apartment kept it cooler too, although it still got pretty warm and stuffy in the children's rooms. There was a small, pleasant patio, and I really appreciated having a few beach blankets and chairs and child's life jacket for a spontaneous beach trip. There was also a nicely stocked kitchen.There was only street parking, but we never had to park more than a couple of blocks away, even returning at night.Overall, it was a great value for that location!
