Overall we loved the Castro house. It is a very old house (1908?), with the charm and quirks that accompany homes of this era. Some parts have been remodeled, such as the kitchen and bathroom. Being upstairs, it can get pretty warm though, even on days in the 60s. Many windows do not open because the wood is old, and swells, and most windows do not have screens. The owner, Jana, who was super friendly and helpful, said they are planning a remodel. The location is excellent. A block from downtown, and about a mile walk to beach.
