To say Mahasti's home exceeded my expectations is an understatement. I was looking for a quiet place to write that was also convenient to restaurants, and her place was perfect. She did the little things like having the Sunday paper and a stocked fridge, full (and wonderful) bookshelves, pitcher of water in the bedroom -- even toiletries. The place was quiet and dark when it needed to be and full of California sunshine in the daytime. It was a tough place to leave, and I hope someday to return.
