Communicating with the host was really smooth; she was very responsive at every turn. Though she was called out of town unexpectedly before we arrived, she had prepared for us entirely; her daughter was a totally able and charismatic substitute, and we felt at home right away. She welcomed us with tea and conversation, gave us an extra blanket and turned up the heat on a cold night, helped with directions, and was a lovely host altogether. The room was very comfortable, and the space is even nicer than the photos show. The neighborhood has lush vegetation, and walking just a few blocks you can see canyon views. Hopefully another time we can visit and get to the parks nearby, where there would be trails and even more canyon areas and a waterfall. It was a camera buff and hiker's paradise to us. We highly recommend a visit!
