My stay was for a week so I hope this review will be helpful & thorough for others. First, I would like to say the Owners/residents Wally & Jose (Mike seems to be like the listing agent of sorts) are extremely friendly people and there home was beautiful. However, there are a few things worth mentioning: 1) This is not a fully private apartment- this is a quaint in-law suite on the 1st floor of the owners home- therefore you share the main entrance to the home with the owners 2) There were dozens of spiders. So many that my other half & I had to buy bug spray & spray every night prior to going to sleep- not the best experience if your on vacation (please note I communicated this to the host as well) 3) You will know the dog is there, everytime you enter or exist it will bark (this was not an issue for us as we have a dog at home) Nevertheless, if you like quiet, privacy, great cleanliness & want to be unbothered then this is not the place for you. If you can deal with bugs & sharing the home all to be in the Hills then this is for you. Hope this helps!
