Summary: We really enjoyed our stay here! The location was excellent-lots of great restaurants within walking distance, plus a Sunday farmers market we loved exploring. The neighborhood itself was very quiet and felt safe, with minimal traffic on the surrounding streets. Public transportation was also close by, making it easy to get around without always relying on a car.HighlightsPlenty of walkable dining options and activities.Air-conditioning was a big plus (though it took some time to cool the house fully at night).Kitchen was stocked well enough for basic cooking; we appreciated having both a drip coffee machine and French press, along with a grinder.Parking for two smaller cars worked fine (garage driveway), though it’s worth noting the garage door mechanism can scrape if a trunk is open.Host was responsive and helpful, quickly addressing small supply needs.Things to NoteThe kitchen is on the smaller side, really only comfortable for 1 person at a time.The smallest bedroom felt a little tight with the queen bed, especially with extra furniture at the foot of the bed.It took about 15 minutes to reach the nearest freeway, though that’s more about location than the property itself.Final ThoughtsOverall, this was a great stay in a convenient, safe location. Perfect for enjoying local restaurants and markets, with a helpful host and a comfortable setup for a sma
