John & Susan are excellent hosts. They were always around to answer questions or just even a simple hello. The neighborhood is extremely quite and safe. I stayed there because I was attending a retreat at Temescal canyon and wanted a place that I could have my own privacy and close enough that I could come and go from the retreat as I needed. The location and easy access was 10+. I especially liked how quite it was. I was able to have my coffee among the birds while journaling or even have quite meditation time to myself. They even provided lots of extras such as coffee, cream, bagels, fruit & water.
