There is something to be said about being received by a friendly and gracious hosts. The guest house is a converted garage, situated on the back corner of the property, allowing you a good amount of privacy. The separate entrance through the steel gated driveway provides a nice way to get in and out without disturbing your hosts, keys are provided for both gate and room. The room itself is very spacious for two people (the futon would be great for kids or a teenager), air-conditioned, well stocked with towels and blankets, iron, small fridge, and electric double hot plate (we didn't use it, too many restaurants to try). The bed was very comfy, it provided enough support for both of us (I like a firmer bed, she a softer one), plenty of pillows, and nice sheets. There is a small but very pleasant sitting area just outside the door, good for sipping that first morning coffee. The room really did satisfy our needs, and the Vargas family was available if you needed them. In summary, I would recommend this room to budget-minded travelers, it has everything needed to make staying in Northridge comfortable and easy.
