What a wonderful place! Where do I begin. I felt the property was actually larger than the pictures showed. The pictures don't do it justice. It was perfect for one person. It was clean and just lovely. The kitchen area worked well for me and the small refrigerator was just the right size. It did not have a stove and oven, which I knew ahead of time, but simply brought an electric frypan to use and had no problems. It was very clean, supplies were available, both cleaning and some basic food items, and it has access to a laundry room onsite. That was a great time saver.
I felt it was very private and enjoyed sitting on a glider outside admiring the view of trees and the hillside and the lights from downtown in the evening. The outdoor spaces offered both sunny and shady spaces. I'm a writer and found it to be a great place to write and be creative. The gardens were beautiful. It was quiet and safe. As a single woman traveling alone, I am always careful about safety and had no concerns about this at all. There is a locked door on the upper-level gate with its own entrance and a double lock on the door to the apartment. My car was parked on the cul de sac and I was not concerned about it being broken into.
Ana Maria is wonderful! If I had any questions or concerns, she addressed them immediately. I wasn't feeling well one evening and she obtained some medicine for me. So thoughtful! I would not hesitate to recommend this property. She even had some "goodies" available for me when I arrived. I was there for a month and really enjoyed it. I was close to 134 and was able to get around the L.A. area easily. Vons grocery story was close by along with my gym. My month-long visit went by so quickly.
I know you will enjoy your time at this property and felt the price was an excellent value.
