I stayed for 2 weeks in June and had a lovely peaceful time. Birgit & family were easy- going and kind with a delightful comfy house, pool and garden.
The neigbourhood was beautiful with wonderful plants and friendly dog walkers, plus a good liquor store and nearby shops & bars. I frequently caught local buses and trains to downtown LA, Hollywood and the beach.
I enjoyed the kayaking spot at nearby Naples Canals ($10ph), the pretty parks within cycling distance (thank you for the use of the Specialized) and there was an Aldi (!) about 15 mins walk away.
The sun shone everyday and when it was hot I drank beer by the pool while watching the Hummingbirds feed from the orange blossom. Thank you xx
