Annabelle's place was beautiful and well maintained, as described in the photos. I never met Annabelle personally, but she did say she is around for any assistance. The three of us really enjoyed our stay and loved the surrounding area. Parking was not difficult to find, which was important to us, having rented a car for our stay in California. We did not make much use of the garden, due to the rain, however it would definitely be the perfect place to sit and relax. Overall, it was really a pleasure to stay in her lovely apartment!
