Amanda's place is really comfortable and pleasant to stay in. The location has a lot going for it, on a quiet tree-lined neighborhood street just a block away from a small city park, and less than half a mile from old downtown Laverne, which has a lot of nice restaurants that are less pretentious and crowded than some other nearby towns like Claremont, but good quality. There is a small wrap-around porch with a swing and rocking chair that is fun to hang out on during warm evenings. Amanda was a super-responsive host, quickly and capably addressing a concern at check-in.
