I chose Shida's home for the view and wasn't disappointed - it was really glorious! I appreciated her accepting my booking just 24 hours before arrival. Now I realize that not every guest is a world traveler so would like to offer some additional comments so that no one is disappointed or surprised in choosing this lovely home.

Get there before dark - The narrow winding roads (with no guard-rail) at the uppermost part of the canyon's hills are similar to those in parts of Europe. Passing other cars & parking can be a little hairy in an oversized car or large SUV. On your drive up, you'll pass some pretty cool homes!

Steps up to the house -- Most all of the homes on these hilltops have tight parallel parking spaces dug into the side of the hill. Then there are 15-25 steps up to the front door. This is something to consider if you're not traveling light.

Bath - The bathroom is really nice (and has a terrific view from the shower), but keep in mind it is shared.

Breakfast - I brought with me a supply of fruit & yogurt for breakfast each day and enjoyed that out on the terrace. Shida has a great expresso machine that you can use.

Hosts - Shida and her roommate Aaron are very friendly and welcoming. But keep in mind that while you may be on vacation, they're busy working, so you may not cross paths very often.
