If you’re like me, you pour over reviews before booking, especially as I was a single woman traveling alone on this trip. Carol welcomed me immediately and even invited me to enjoy dinner with her family on the first evening- which was full of yummy veggies from her organic urban garden. I felt like I was staying with family- yet I also had the privacy of the pool house to relax and recharge before starting a week long business trip in LA. Thank you, Carol for your amazing hospitality! I really enjoyed getting to know you, your family, and your two sweet pooches too!
