This house is spacious with a large patio area--we loved our morning coffee outside. It's in a very quiet neighborhood, although you might hear neighborhood dogs, as well as chickens in the morning (we loved their sounds). Its located on a windy road without sidewalks but there is very little traffic. The hiking trail is farther than we expected. We walked about 25 minutes to get there (felt very safe through the neighborhoods) and then used Uber on the way back (we did not have our own vehicle). Plenty of grocery stores and eateries nearby via car ride (too far for walking). Easy access to freeway. Even though there is a larger home on the property, you definitely feel like you are the only ones there. It felt very private.
