A great value with close proximity to Ventura blvd. Sharyn is a cordial host. The room is cozy, but gets quite warm. The AC wasn't always on and it was very hot the first night. However, it was my bad for not asking though. There seems to be no kitchen access as the area for guests is quarantined. So be sure to stock up on bottled water and don't plan on bringing home leftovers. The bathroom is clean and contemporary. Overall, this sanctuary lives it up to the name. She has several animals including some kind of parrot that says hello 100 times in the morning, which freaked me out the first morning because it sounds like a person until it let out a bird like shreak. The only other caveat is that it smells like cat at times but I have a nose like a bloodhound. Overall, a pleasant experience and I would recommend this place.
