We really loved this location -- so close to Cal but feels a world away with all the trees & greenery. We enjoyed seeing & hearing the bird life and receiving the gentle greetings of the mellow, sweet dog Fala. We took an amazing walk to nearby Claremont Canyon, not far if you're okay with hills. The apartment actually felt more spacious than we thought from the photos! There are lots of nice lamps, which makes such a difference -- great if you're a reader or like to not be stuck with a glaring overhead. Nhu and Tom were friendly when we saw them or needed anything, but left us to our own devices otherwise, so we really felt like it was our own getaway. They also were really helpful in arranging a late checkout. We saw that an electric blanket is provided in case of cold weather, which would be really helpful since the apartment is cool (bring slippers or extra socks for the tile floor if you have chilly feet). We were woken once by loud plumbing noises from upstairs during the stay of one larger group -- the building is (beautifully, charmingly) old so the sound insulation is not perfect. Mostly, though, everything was wonderfully quiet and relaxed. Great for reading on the patio.
