The place is very clean and there is a shared bathroom. Carmen does a good job communicating in great detail what you need to know before arriving so you are not left uncertain about anything. There is a small refrigerator in the room with a microwave oven. Also, the bed is nice and comfortable. Vons is about a 15 minute walk away so there are things close by. If you are looking for a place where the host will sit and talk your ears off all day, this may not be the place for you since I did not actually get to meet Carmen. This place is set up more for someone who likes their peace and quiet and can come and go as they wish. So, if you like having your space and a clean place that is decently quiet, then this is the place for you. I would definitely stay here again.
