Amazing location and very comfortable stay. Appreciated the little touches like having some filtered water bottles ready in the house. Two double beds but they were pretty comfy. Only complaint really was the shower, it took a long time to heat up and was difficult to adjust, the knobs seemed very sensitive so it was often too hot or too cold.

Our stay at this property was spectacular. The accommodations were clean and the host provided the information to make our stay pleasurable. The fact that we could bring our pup was a plus. Definitely a home away from home. Easy access to the freeway and other areas of interest. An added convenience was driveway parking.

The home was quite nice. I was a bit confused about whether I could park in the driveway because there was a car already parked there (turns out I could), but the home was easy to find. It has two mailboxes by the front door with two different house numbers but I recognized it from the photo. The bed was comfortable. Everything was clean. I was a little bummed there was no table or desk where I could work on my computer (it was a business trip) - the bar was a little awkward with the height of the stool - and I wish there had been a toaster, but it was fine for the one evening that I was there.

Lots of good things about house, clean, location, walkable neighborhood & restaurants. Responsive owner and easy check-in and check out. But the bedrooms and beds were small and the centrally located bathroom needs a fan for privacy. It was comfortable and pretty well appointed but wish there was cream and sugar to go with the Kuerig coffee maker. Good stay overall.

This property is great. It's conveniently located just off of the freeway, and a short walk (within 2 minutes) to a grocery store, a park, and some local stores. It's well decorated and properly equipped for pretty much whatever you need. James is a wonderful host. Very friendly, and responsive. Thanks for the stay!
