Although we didn't have a chance to meet our hosts, they made us feel very welcome. They left us helpful information about local restaurants, parks (we were a block from the equestrian center and park which was great for our dog)and other local features. Also waiting for us was coffee, creamer and sweetner as well as packets of nuts and fruit. We appreciated too the fresh white linens and towels as well as the well stocked kitchen and bathroom with extra shampoo, etc. We found the location and amenities just right for our trip down to the Rose Bowl.
