Lawrence·5·Nov. 2025· "Our stay at Charles' home was A+. We have stayed at many Mister B&B locations and I never met a host more gracious and accommodating. It is a beautiful home in a great location. We were able to visit Santa Barbara one day and Hearst Castle and the Paso Robles wine country the next day. We will definitely return the next time we visit the Central Coast. Thank you Charles."
