Karilyn's place was just what we were looking for. We love architecturally interesting homes and enjoy exploring new new neighborhoods, especially ones with historical significance. We spend a good part of a day on foot strolling the surrounding beautiful and charming Bungalow Heaven area. The location was terrific for our visit to the Huntington Gardens.
It's an older house with details and furnishings of a home of its period. (The holiday tree for our December visit was a nice touch). The room was surprisingly spacious, quiet, and very comfortable, with windows overlooking persimmon and citrus trees, a large walk-in closet and generous bathroom with two sinks.
Karilyn was not kidding about the well-stocked kitchen. She had a spread of fresh bagels, cheese, avocados, fruit, and a gift card to a local bakery, as well as an abundance of other breakfast fare in the pantry and fridge.
We really enjoyed getting to know the other guests over breakfast (and later ran in to them them at the Huntington). They were delightful and it made our stay special. Isn't that what bed and breakfasts are all about?
