Vanessa is a gracious & delightful host. Her home is comfortable, elegant with attention to detail: extreme cleanliness, antiques, mid century architectural features, extra linens, filtered water and ice in the refrigerator door dispenser. Despite a self check in keyless entry code, Vanessa greeted me at the gate. She showed me around the house and her beautiful gardens. She made wonderful restaurant recommendations. She is near the historic Watt's Towers and Art Center. Her street is quiet & safe. Neighbors have lived here for years and know each other. Grounds are manicured. Vanessa grows fruit trees, herbs and orchids. Her back patio features a cafe table, chairs & BBQ. A fountain adds to the serenity of the space. I came to write and reflect and was able to relax & get a lot of work accomplished. Vanessa loves her home, her community and her work. The home is close to freeways, parks, historical sites & other attractions. Internet is fast, TV includes Amazon fire, many channels and Direct TV. The AC is centralized and a cool ocean breeze makes it often unnecessary even in the middle of summer.
