Carol is a great host and very attentive and responsive. It's a charming backyard bungalow in a nice little neighborhood. Nothing in walking distance other than a really great coffee shop. The bungalow is cute and clean and with an up to date kitchen. I loved the tile shower. The backyard neighbor has two chickens - which were occasionally seen, but never heard. A fun urban farm touch. Alas, be prepared for freeway noise, as the property is located extremely close to the 101 freeway. I got used to the noise, but it's not ideal.
