Is the glass half full or half empty? Is it a cute suburban experience, or is it a converted garage with a thin veneer of quaint?
I felt very safe. There is a man and a dog keeping watch 24/7 less than 12 feet away. Park across the street for kids, so very quiet neighbourhood at night. Privacy was totally respected.
Not senior-friendly. Distance from bed to TV too much for these old eyes and ears. Non-standard step to bathroom is gonna trip you sooner or later.
Tiled floors can be cold in February (bring slippers). Easy to have a smoke, rare in California.
The parking bothered me, I felt trapped (I wasn't, just felt that way). The hot water confounded me with a few cold shaves.
Hosts were instantly available, courteous and helpful.

It's a fair deal.
