Without a doubt, Chris' place is ideal for short or long term visitors or interns at JPL or elsewhere in the area. The availability of all the amenities that you need on a day-to-day basis, a bicycle to commute, and a friendly host to come home to (not to mention a beautiful grand piano) made my 3 week stay easy, affordable, and comfortable. I would definitely recommend to future guests and would likely stay again if given the opportunity.
