Josh's casita could not have been more perfect for me, and I felt fortunate to be able to book it. This was my first visit using airbnb, so I was hoping for the best and I was more than satisfied.

Josh's place is in a lovely, quiet residential neighborhood, with a gated yard/parking place--it felt very safe for a person staying alone, which was my main criterion. He has dogs--very quiet, though I heard a soft bark several times--and it was comforting to know there were alert animal companions nearby.

Flowers were blooming outside the sliding doors, so--coming from Michigan--it was a treat to open the drapes.

I was visiting nearby friends, so spent comparatively little time there during the day, but internet and good work space made it very convenient for me to prepare for my conference.

I had my arrival date mixed up but Josh kindly accommodated me (thankfully he was not booked the second day.)

I did not meet Josh in person, but he communicated with me immediately and clearly, and courteously, and left a key for my late arrival. (And judging by the eclectic mix of books on the bedside shelf, he's a person with an engaging turn of mind...)

The bungalow has a kitchenette and dining area, as well as a sitting room and bedroom with a very comfortable bed--and a washer and dryer. The couch also can provide extra sleeping--though I did not use it--so there is plenty of room for several people or a small family--enough room for children to play.

It's a great home-base for visiting the area--peaceful and quiet.

Highly recommended. I will definitely bring my husband and stay there again if Josh has an opening.

Thank you.
