The neighborhood quiet and calm, despite being near a busy street, a big plus. The only downside of the noise was that their two cute dogs spent the first morning barking energeticly and LOUDLY right at our front door which was a rather rude awakening but we managed to get them to quiet down and go back to their home. They barked here and there throughout our stay but I'm a huge dog person so I managed to win them over fairly quickly.
The restroom facilities were all in working order and the shower was spacious. Though we didn't use them, they provided a travel size shampoo and conditioner. They also provided 2 shower towels and 1 hand towel. We had trouble with the wifi at first, but after contacting the host and they restarted it, it seemed to work much better. The microwave and refrigerator were very convenient and we especially appreciated the drinking water provided.
The room was spacious and the walk in closet was a great bonus, plenty of space for storage. The bed was very soft- my boyfriend who prefers a firm bed had some trouble, but I love softer beds so it worked just fine for me:)
The space was organized and uncluttered, and the linens were clean. There was some dust in some areas though and the restroom sink/cabinet area looked like it hadn't been cleaned thoroughly in some time.
We asked if we could use the patio area and Vanessa was accommodating and even cleaned the area and provided mosquito repellent- very thoughtful and much appreciated.
Make sure to read the parking rules carefully. Parking in the late evening and getting up before 7:30 to move the car was a bit of an inconvenience- especially during our week of vacation, but worth not getting a ticket (which the local area is strict with). There was plenty of street parking during the day though.
Overall, this place was just what we needed for our thanksgiving vacation in the area, we knew we were going to spend almost all of our time outside visiting friends and family, and it was a good place to come back to to rest and unwind.
Bonus: Close to In N Out.
