Location, location. I love to walk and everything I wanted to do was within walking distance. Cal Tech where I went many years ago, restaurants, coffee shops, the church I went to back then, etc. I liked that I did not have to park on the street. I did not spend much time at the house and I thought the mattress on the bed in the room was particularly comfortable.. The weekend I was there it was very quiet. Fed was an enthusiastic host and I did get the unexpected treat of getting to spend some time with her and friends one evening.
