Could not have found a better place for our group of six’s 3-day getaway. I have never before found an Airbnb comprised of 5 bedrooms, EACH with an en suite bathroom! The massive bar was fun, and the living room and dining room were comfortable. Being able to walk one block to the ferry so we could go to the beach was also fabulous. And Michael could not have been more proactive, responsive, and a pleasure. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

This Airbnb is a former hotel and has lots of unique touches and details. We loved that every bedroom had an ensuite full bath and the beds and linens were great quality and very comfortable. The home is well decorated with ample seating everywhere and is literally steps away from the Balboa ferry, a market for all your basics, and Todos Santos restaurant. Unlike some Airbnbs, the kitchen items were good quality and all the basics were provided. Not as many bathroom amenities available, but we had what we needed. Shortly after arriving, we noticed ants on the wall by the front door and discovered they were coming in from outside and had a long trail on the floor. Michael sent someone to treat and clean the area the following morning and we had no issues afterwards. His response time took awhile (at least a couple hours) but we appreciated him sending bug spray and paper towels the first night since no one was able to come until the next day. Otherwise, we had a wonderful stay!
