I spent 3 months here for my summer intern.
EJ’s cottage is amazing. It’s close to downtown. Bunch of nice restaurants and bar. Starbucks, Peet’s coffee. Trader Joe’s...Walgreen...Bank...Everything you need is within walking distance. I especially like the local movie theater and bookstore. Saturday there’s a very nice farmers market, foods and fruits are great, let along the live music performance. People drive here to have access to these facilities within a 15min walk of this cottage. Plus the neighborhood is super safe.
The cottage itself is small. But it has everything. Its tidy and cozy. EJ is kind enough to add a TV too. The cottage is in the far end of EJ’s property, surrounding by a nice garden. It is very private and give you the safe-feeling.
EJ is a nice person very easy to talk to. He responds fast whenever I have a question and gave me lots of advice to help me settle in. When my dog accidentally break one of the garden light. EJ not only let me forget about it but also provides me more lights in case I want to decorate his garden the way I like. This is how nice he is.
I’ll miss this place and will definitely visit again for my next trip to Cali.
