I liked with my stay in the host Merek's place. It was pocket friendly and neat place. The room was clean and well furnished. It has a TV, Lamp, Bed and lots of pillows. The bed was very comfortable too. The kitchen is well stocked with all kinds of appliances starting from microwave, oven to panini maker and a K-cup coffee machine. The locality is quiet and very scenic. There are hils all around with lots of flora. The host Merek is an excellent guy. He is little shy and doesn't talk much but he is very helpful and has a pleasant personality. We have become friends now. We went together to the mall, to the amusement park and also for shopping couple of times. I also loved the pets (two dogs) at the place. One dog is quite calm and composed but the other one is more energetic and jumps a lot when she sees any guest. At the end I became good friends with them too.
Now the cons: The location of the house is atop a steep hilly road and the nearest bus stop is around 20 minutes of walk. The grocery store like Ralphs is also quite far from the house. So if someone does not wish to use a car or a cab service, it will be quite a challenge for him/her. The network connectivity is quite poor in that area. Only ATT and Spring network works at the location and around it. T-Mobile only works at the bus stop and areas thereafter. Also, the dryer and washer usage is chargeable at $5 per use. It was nowhere mentioned in the listing but I came to know about it only after using the amenity.
Also, I would not recommend one to stay in this house if you have small kid(s). The dog with the energetic behavior can be injurious for them.
