We really enjoyed our three night stay. It was furnished with everything we needed, including an assigned parking spot near the building. Communication with the host was prompt and helpful. We found the secluded space of the patio at the rear to be perfect for quiet conversations after busy days of activities in Laguna Beach or morning coffee while other members of our party slept in. We would book it again.
