Loved the apartment, location, and friendly, helpful hosts. The layout of the apartment is very comfortable. There is city noise and traffic, but I was not bothered by it. Ralphs’ Supermarket, CVS, Trader Joe’s, and Target are a few blocks walk in one direction; and The Grove is a quarter of a mile in the other direction. Nearer by is a great breakfast etc place and a very good Thai restaurant. The hosts could not have been more helpful. I hope to return next year!
