Ellen's place was a welcoming, comfortable, cozy and quiet home-away-from-home for us and our dogs as we visited relatives during the holidays. It is a charming mix of vintage chic, colorful hand painted Mexican tile in the bathroom, rustic country touches and modern conveniences (wifi, cable, bidet). The kitchenette was well equipped. The enclosed patio felt private and lush, with a wall style fountain, a mature lemon tree that was thick with fruit, and a garden filled with a variety of succulents, cacti, ornamental grasses and other plants.
