What a gorgeous little cottage in the foothills. Beautiful morning sunlight in the master bedroom. California is like a different world; I'm from Illinois and it's surreal to wake up in a neighborhood where oranges and kumquats grow on trees right next to the sidewalks. (No, I didn't pick any.) Check-in and check-out were effortless. The kitchen has plenty of coffee and if you need a quiet place to sit and work during the day, the living room is a good spot. It's a great little town to walk through and the trailhead (popular on Saturday mornings) is right up the block. Bring hiking shoes!
