I loved staying at Melissa's guest cottage! It was exactly as described and the privacy was wonderful! Loved her big, beautiful dog, Bailey, who made me feel right at home, as soon as I walked in. I felt safe in the neighborhood, even when I came home alone, very late at night.

Melissa's thoughtfulness was evident not only in her providing for all the "regular" things a guest would need, but in her thinking about even the smallest things: hanging on the wall near the door was a tiny folding umbrella, in case of rain (yes, even in southern California!)

I was astounded to see that the street parking in this area was as "challenging" as the parking in NY, but Melissa leaves her own driveway open, in case her guests cannot find street parking. Talk about generosity!
