It's going to be hard to express how lovely this stay was in a short review. The basics: Communication was very fast and friendly. On street parking was easy to find and the host lives on - site so check in was simple and fast. The apartment is centrally located but also very quiet. There are dozens of yummy restaurants within a 5 minute walk of the house. You could stay 2 weeks and never eat in the same place twice. Persian, Vietnamese, Pizza, Mexican, IHOP, Sushi - you name it, it's steps from your door. Smart and Final grocery is maybe a block away, Target is about 2 blocks away going the other direction. The apartment is stocked full of pantry essentials as well as toiletries so check what's there first before buying. The kitchen is fully equipped, the bed is comfortable, and there is a smart TV. Although the building is on a main thoroughfare, the unit is tucked behind a sound barrier, and is quiet as a pin. As for the intangibles - you'll be staying with a very special kitty Mau Mau, who is an amazing host. You will also get to meet her co-host Barbara, a truly kind, generous, welcoming and gracious human being. This is not just a stay - it's an experience, and one I think you will enjoy. I highly recommend Mau Mau and Barbara's place. Lucky you if you are able to book! :-)
