I stayed in the in-law apartment for 3 months while working as a therapist doing home health in the surrounding communities. I can't say enough about the accommodations, the neighborhood, and especially the Eidlin family.
First accommodations: exactly as pictured. The 3 rooms were perfect for me. Large enough even when my husband came to visit. Although I never watch television; make sure you know that up front. But who watches television when there is netflix?
Second the neighborhood: Safe, lush, beautiful. It reminded me of La Jolla in California. No trouble finding on street parking. I could also step out of my apartment and see clear over to san francisco. There are some magnificent views. It is convenient to all major highways which was important to me since I was doing home health and going to many locations. Route 13 south/north just down the street.
And lastly, the hosts: Here's where the "added value" applies. The entire Eidlin family are kind, hospitable, responsible and gracious. I only encountered some minor problems, but they were johnny on the spot and fixed immediately. Alex, his wife and his son are charming, helpful, intelligent people. They would frequently ask if I needed "anything". I will miss them all.
So, you can stop looking at other arrangements. If this is the right area, this is the right place...nothing could possibly be better.
