Claudia is definitely a SUPER host! The charming cottage is located in an upscale & safe neighborhood in beautiful Sierra Madre. The cottage itself sits at the back of the lovely & well maintained yard & gardens & is so quiet, I never heard one car. Everything is immaculate & well appointed. One could prepare a full meal in the kitchenette, the bed was extremely comfortable, nice quality linens, washer & dryer in the bathroom & a huge shower with perfect water pressure. Claudia even accommodated my kitty by purchasing a scratcher & several toys for her. Claudia & her husband Michael could not have been more accommodating to my needs without ever being intrusive. They are lovely people who provide a beautiful & peaceful cottage in a charming neighborhood.
