This was a fantastic place to stay. The "room" is almost as big as my one bedroom apartment. It has one very comfortable main bed as well as a pull-out couch bed and a futon mattress that can be pulled out if you need it. My husband and I stayed there with two family members. The bed was comfortable for us, and our family members said the other two beds were comfy too. There's TV, a mini-fridge and microwave, a table to eat at, and dishes that you can use. The bathroom is especially lovely, and has an amazing shower. The parking here is also very convenient. There's street parking, of course, but they also have a large driveway that you can park in easily without blocking anyone in. You have your own private entrance and keys to get in and out.

We were out visiting with family most of the time that we were there, so we didn't get to enjoy it, but they also have a lovely garden with a goldfish pond. They do have cats, but they're mostly outdoor from what I could tell, and it doesn't seem like they go into the guest quarters at all. We would definitely return here just to spend a weekend relaxing.

The neighborhood is also lovely. There are tons of independent shops and cafes, and trees everywhere. (Yes, this is a big deal after living in LA for 6 years!) It's definitely got its own personality, and is worth exploring. Not too far away is also the Chabot Science Center that has some pretty impressive telescopes that they make available (for free!) Friday nights. It's in a location that doesn't usually have too much ambient light interference, so you should get a good view of the night sky (barring a full moon). They also have a telescope-making workshop that you can go into and observe and ask questions, if you're so inclined.
