10/10
A short and easy walk to the park and beach, to Godmother's book shop, and a cute downtown with shops and wine tasting. Convenient highway access and about a 10 minute drive to Santa Barbara. Quite a bit of highway noise but knew that going in and it became background noise to me and I used a white noise machine at night to sleep.There are lots of stairs but the host had warned me ahead of time. Appreciated the heads up when Truman warned me and made sure it would be okay for my older parents. Loved having a bathroom for each bedroom which gave privacy to each of us staying there. The hot water wasn't great in the upper bedroom on its own, and in the downstairs bathrooms (took a long time to warm up). Many places are lacking in amenities but this one provided shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and lotion in all the bathrooms!We found the beds very comfortable with a variety of pillows for everyone's tastes. I also felt like the towels were soft and fresh without having issues like pilling or fuzz.The house was very clean. I did get an allergy flare up from previous pets (usually I only react to cats but I think this was a dog based on the dog toy we found), but that's always a risk at homes that allow pets.It would have been great to spend more time at the house with the beautiful fire pit and hot tub.
