We enjoyed staying at Merrie's place. The location was great for us as we were in town for a wedding- close to the venue and also close to lots of restaurants and grocery stores. It was quiet at night other than the cars on the main street (Ventura blvd) behind the house but that is easily drowned out by earplugs or a sound machine. It's located in a nice neighborhood and the house itself is gated. The bed was very comfortable and we had everything we needed- a small plus was the drinking water faucet at the kitchen sink. We would definitely stay again when in the area in the future!
