Alex has been extremely busy at work so has not been able to walk her dog.

Based on the following fact situation answer the following question: Puck, a Tucson resident, is perusing Airbnb for a condo to rent in San Diego. He decides on one owned by Denise in part because Denise’s Airbnb listing states that the condo is “beachfront” and books it for two weeks for a total of $3,000. Included in the contract that Puck agreed to electronically when he booked the condo is the following statement: “The property owner represents and warrants that the property matches the description thereof specified in the property’s Airbnb listing.” Puck travels by car from Tucson to Denise’s condo. Upon arrival, Puck notes that while one can see the beach from Denise’s condo, it is not actually on the beach but across the street from it, although there are no buildings between it and the beach. Puck is not happy about this but nonetheless stays for the two weeks and has a great time.  Assume Puck prevails in a suit against Denise for breach of contract because in his mind the condo is not “beachfront.” How much is Puck likely to be awarded in damages?
