The house is exactly as described – a cozy, comfortable California cottage set in a quiet residential neighborhood, within easy walking distance to a downtown area with coffee shops, restaurants and eclectic shopping available.For us, it was also perfectly located for an easy commute to visit our aging parents in Claremont, and having off-street parking available was a huge bonus.Beds are very comfortable (though I will admit to ‘stealing’ the pillows off the second bed as I like to have stacked pillows), and the showers in both bathrooms have great water pressure and hand-held shower wands which I greatly appreciate.We didn’t make much use of the kitchen as we were visiting family, and almost all meals were eaten with them, but it was well stocked with most things you’d need to cook at home. Coffee makers include both drip and k-cup styles, and there is a large Brita-filter water jug in the fridge so you don’t need to buy jugs of water.I think the best part of the house was the homey seasonal decorations inside and out – made you feel that you were actually part of the neighborhood instead of being in a dull unloved rental. The dachshunds everywhere made me homesick for my mom – she was also a doxie-lover, and her own holiday decorations featured her favorite hounds.We will be very happy to consider this our home base for future visits to family, and hope it’s available to us next time!
