Jill was a very enthusiastic and gracious host. My buddy and I were made to feel at home from the start and enjoyed chatting with Jill during the duration of our stay. I will say that you should be a "dog person" if you stay at Jill's home, non-issue for me and her three pups are easy to keep out of your private space. The extra room adjoining the bedroom was a bonus and allowed me to sit and write on my laptop. I was concerned about the pull out bed, but as others mentioned, the mattress is comfortable. The outside area is really nice to enjoy the mornings and is spacious enough to do some yoga. The neighborhood was very quaint, safe and with ample parking. Jill's home is close to Trader Joe's and several other easily accessed stores for all your needs. Jill also provided a little welcome basket with fruit & various treats:) Overall, our stay at Jill's went great and I feel it was a good value.
