I would like to start off by saying that this home looks much better in person than in the photos. We never met Joe but he was still very accommodating! Once we got to the house we were shocked by how cozy it looked and felt!
Things like grocery stores and restaurants are NOT in walking distance. It feels like a very safe neighborhood ( it's next to a school ).
Definitely would stay here again. If you're planning on going to SoCal, this is a great place to stay.
