Thierry' s place was perfect for our trip down for student move-in and family orientation at Occidental College. It's just a few minutes drive to campus, and not far from all the places we needed to run errands to get our daughter squared away (Target, IKEAetc) Thierry was very responsive to all messages, and had a lovely snack of chilled white wine, grapes, delicious bread, and brie awaiting us on our arrival. So welcoming after our long drive down from Sacramento! We had trouble connecting to wifi the night we arrived, but we messaged Thierry and he took care of it first thing the next morning. Having a washer & dryer available as well as a well stocked and equipped kitchen was handy. We were gone from morning till evening each day during a streak of near 100 degree days, but the window a/c unit and ceiling fans cooled the space down fairly quickly when we returned each day. Water pressure in the shower was perfect ( which is often not the case in hotels)! My husband and daughter found the bed to be not too comfortable, but I thought it was fine and slept well. They slept okay. The patio was a lovely place for breakfast and enjoying the cooler evenings and parking was easy. I really enjoyed living like a local and really getting a feel for the area my daughter will be living for the near future. I definitely recommend Thierry's place, a little home away from home!
