Virginia's home was absolutely lovely! It sits a top a hill and the front has a darling garden with views to the city. The room that I stayed in had everything I needed. The bed was comfy (although I teeny bit noisy due to the bed frame, but it was no biggie!), the shower worked great and the hot water came out pretty quick, there was ample closet space and she even set out from fresh fruit and a few things in the fridge for my stay. The house was in a beautiful neighborhood and it was close to the highway so it made getting around quite easy.
Although this was a private room, I did enjoy having my own private bathroom. Additionally, as with any private room, you have to consider that you are attached to the home and therefore may hear conversations being had by the family. Its important to have an extra level of consideration for your own noise level due to this, but overall there was nothing extra to note about the noise level. The whole experience was quite peaceful. I would definitely recommend Virginia's place for her next trip to Cali!
