We had a terrific experience staying with Robin! My girlfriend and I (and our dog) sub-letted Robin's entire home for 4 months while she was away in South America. For us, it was the perfect way to transition our new lives from Chicago into Los Angeles. The neighborhood is diverse, quiet, and conveniently located just off the highway. There are lots of breathtaking hiking trails nearby, and of course plenty of fun restaurants to try (many of the best ones were already recommended by Robin in advance). Robin was excellent with responding to questions and concerns and took care of everything immediately! From thousand of miles away! Her home is fantastic, with a very comfortable bed, insanely great water pressure and heating, all tucked away in a very serene and, yes tranquil, environment. If you have Robin as your host, consider yourself lucky. They don't get more amenable, charming, responsive, and kind than Robin. We had a great stay.
