Franziska made sure that everything was right for our stay. The apartment was welcoming (signs, coffee, fruit, candy, wine) and cheerful. Although on a busy street (buses, sirens, etc) we felt we were in a peaceful garden surrounded by trees. Franziska also provided ear plugs and eye shades for sensitive ears and eyes. Beds are very comfortable...we had a good night's sleep.
As typical for us, we spent a lot of time traveling to various locations in SoCal for family gatherings and to see old friends. The location is perfect to airports and freeways.
